The bar that says "OS support" is always last to fill up during development of new software. Is there any way to influence this? What skill is connected to "OS support"?

The last thing to do will always be to ensure the product is properly functional on each operating system you selected in the Design Document. AFAIK the programming skill tied to this is Systems. You cannot influence the order in which development tasks are worked/completed.

IMHO, best to only choose a single OS (the one with the most users, preferably yours), and handle everything else post-release, such as day-one ports just after day-one patches for tech updates. That will ensure you are not spending time during the development phase for tasks which can be handled by dedicated porting teams (or freshly untasked programmers of that software) when it's already out there making money.
