I appreciate the WWDC stuff is under NDA, but the words 'platform
independence' in the following session plan stick out like a sore thumb.
Does this relate to the message earlier about
"NSWindows95InterfaceStyle"? I'm guessing this is just my overactive
mind, but you've got to admit it's rather ambiguous if they don't mean
that there'll be Cocoa for Windows (and sorry for opening the floodgates!)
They can't be talking about mixing platform independent Java API classes
with Cocoa non-platform independent classes, as it distinctly says "Cocoa
APIs... platform independence".
Just thinking out loud,
Ken
