Does this mean that non-Cocoa-Obj-C can be used on other platforms?

Cocoa consists of two parts: Foundation and AppKit.

Foundation is almost completely portable. AppKit less so.

Ive allways thought that this was impossible since some other platforms doesnt support Obj-C (mainly windows, i think all UNIX based OS4s have the Obj-C runtime framework, but not sure)!

Objective-C is available on most gcc platforms, as part of gcc. There are also non-gcc Objective-C compilers and runtimes (Stepstone, POC) and probably a couple more that aren't widely known (it's easy enough not be an obstacle).
