Is the CF framework cross platform, i.e can it be compiled for a windows app? I am wondering about a little future portability of a section of my code and have built it heavily in Cocoa obj-c but can easily knock it down to c w/ CF.

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.
