Purely conjecture,

Jonathon may have some basis in fact -- at least for the main app…
but I don't believe you would be safe making absolute assumption
that iTunes (even on Windows) is written entirely in C++.
Granted the original application was based on a Carbon application,
but it has grown quite a lot since.
I'd feel very confident in conjecturing that, if nothing else, the
Cover Flow control in iTunes is written in Objective-C. Certainly
it is the case that the cross-platform Safari application is
written in Objective-C so there is no reason to doubt that Apple
has the ability to run Objective-C on Windows environment. (indeed
the "Yellow Box for Windows" of the distant past shows that an
Objective-C runtime can be happily hosted in an application
environment on Windows).
Now as to using Xcode for cross platform development...
