Platform independence in software means that you can run some code with little or no modification on multiple platforms.It depends on what you define as "the platform". In some cases this may be a specific hardware / machine configuration. In other gases in may be a "generic PC". In other cases it may be a virtual machine and runtime environment (which is the case with Java).
