Last I checked, GNUStep wasn't a viable option for windows. Mainly do to installation issues and lack of API completeness. CoreFoundation *does* work on Windows. If you ask around, I am sure you can find an old version of a compiled CoreFoundation library that works well on windows. (I don't have such a lib). Not sure if the Notifications (CFUserNotifications or CFNotifications) work on windows though.

Objective-C/Foundation code is much more portable than CoreFoundation, because OpenSource implementations of Foundation are available (GNUstep base and libFoundation). Use of CoreFoundation is largely non-portable because large parts of CoreFoundation are not OpenSource (only parts are in Darwin).

So if you want to be portable: use Foundaton, avoid CoreFoundation.
