t_main causing non-portable programs

What is the difference between _tmain() and main() in C++?

I often see people using massively visual studio to write programs in c++. So massively that they think that "visual c++" is the programming language thay are using. This is how often I see to declare a main:

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])

What's the purpose of that? is that only to make fellow-windowers 's programs non-portable on other platforms?

Nothing. Just not experienced programmers and Microsoft thinking it is the king of the world, he can adjust standards to it's own liking.

This is not an answer, it's a duplicate question that belongs in a close-vote and an unnecessary comment. – ssube Feb 16 '12 at 14:48
