General programming question

One of my teachers in college, who I would tend to respect her point of view because she had a job in the programming field, said that it shouldn't matter what Windows OS you made your program on, it should run on other Windows platforms. For example, this was during our capstone project, there were 2 of us, and he was using VB 6.0 on XP, and I was using VB 6.0 on Vista, and I brought up the question of compatibility issues with our code on the different OSes. She said it shouldn't matter from a develpment point of view which OS you use.

I guess the only difference would be in the compiled code, right? Wouldn't different OSes have different api's and such?
