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!)
Well, the NSWindows95InterfaceStyle is a remnant from the OPENSTEP
Enterprise era. (And, I'd assume relevant to WebObjects on Windows.)
You should also consider that they just got rid of the last vestige of
cross platform Cocoa by going pure Java in WebObjects 5.
Thus, I don't think Apple will be making Cocoa cross-platform again, at
least not until they have migrated fully to Mac OS X.
