Imagine how many more Cocoa apps would get written if they were
cross-platform?
iTunes in all it's aqua/brushed aluminium splendour now runs on
Windows, what about the rest of us?
I'm not suggesting the porting of Mac OS X for intel - which given
NeXT/OpenStep's history is not that far fetched - but how about
emulation of the Cocoa frameworks? Sure it might be slower (or maybe
not?) but then that would help to not undermine Apple's hardware
sales. In that vein Apple could strategically restrict some of it's
own apps to only function on Apple hardware.
Technically problematic but given the history of successful emulators
running M$ OS's on Mac surely doing something like it the other way
round is not impractical?
As a developer I would gladly pay for a licence to do this, could even
be another revenue stream for Apple - as if they needed it ;-)
Probably, this might be interesting for you:
