commercially) closed cross-platform implementation ( OPENSTEP/NT, aka
YellowBox/Windows) that it promised to make available at "low to zero
cost". However, Apple later reneged on that promise and killed the
technology.
Do we know that for certain? I'd be surprised if Apple actually killed
Yellow Box for Windows. It seems like it would be a fairly easy thing
to maintain, once done, and when the time comes to write a big Windows
application (like, say, iTunes), Yellow Box for Windows might be a
pretty darned cool thing to have lying around.
(Wouldn't it be neat if we heard next week that, among all the other
goodies, the release of Panther would include a significant subset of
core technologies for Windows?)
