What's the modern solution for sharing data between Cocoa to Windows



If you watch this video from 1995 and the particularly three subsequent parts of the video, you'll see that NeXT offered an interesting technology for "seamless" communication between Openstep/ Cocoa objects on the server and rich Windows clients running Excel and Visual Basic applications:

All of that is gone now. Apple chucked it all 10 years ago. What is the modern solution ?

Suppose I have Excel running on a Windows machine and I want to grab data from Cocoa objects running on a remote Mac OS X server. How do I get the data out of the Cocoa objects and into Excel ? Suppose I succeed in getting the data out of a Cocoa application and I then I use the data to produce pie chart in Excel. Now, how do I get an image of that chart show to up on a web page produced by a web server running on Mac OS X ?

I apologize in advance if the answers are obvious. I have little to no experience in the realm of web publishing, so I might not be asking the right questions ? I basically just want to do what Steve Jobs demoed in 1995.
