Need expert help to plan out my next RAC project.

We initially planned to hire 3 RAC programmers. One to write a .net app for windows, another for linux, and yet anothor for a mac version of the application.

But what would be better would be to hire one programmer who can write one app that can run on all 3 OS's.

The program must execute from a USB thumbdrive, detect which OS the computer is running and launch the appropriate version of the program.

The application itself which we will soon contract to have built is a content browsing program. It will check a member's only website using an encrypted key burned on to the thumbdrive and downloads any new content from site if available. The content will then be available for browsing by the end user. The content website uses an XML file for its content managment that the application will need to read to determine what to download.

So far, we are considering Flash and java, but aren't sure on either of these ways.

Please explain to us how you would go about accomplishing this project. We will pay the person who presents us with the best solution, so bid the full amount. Also indicate whether or not you have the ability to complete the solution yourself as you have described it.

After a build method has been selected, we will post the job here on RAC with all the details filled in. Everyone will be welcome to place a bid for the project.

Thanks.

UPDATE: We have attached a project requirements document for your consideration.
