So I'm talking to a friend of mine last night, and he thinks my Cocoa application would be a smash hit on Windows[1].

Blasphemy! He should be slapped.

The Projectbuilder and Interface Builder tools from Openstep certainly did run under Windows. I've used them to build cross-platform applications in the past and it worked very well. The applications looked and behaved like Real Genuine(tm) Windows applications. Sadly, that is no longer possible.


For now, I feel that the best (and probably also the route that Apple would recommend) way to produce cross-platform GUI applications is to program them using Java and Swing, although that is nowhere even remotely close to the Cocoa environment.
