This is interesting. How come that one of flagship applications is
based on platform which should "ride into Sunset" one day?
GNUStep does have Windows port (at least partial port) but it is not
Cocoa by long shot.
I guess my real question is,
- Does anyone on the list has any experience of porting applications
from Mac OS X (Cocoa) to other platforms ?
I just mentioned iTunes because I can not believe that Apple does not
have some sort of portability layer. I developed enterprise
applications for most part of my professional carrier and I am
convinced that single source + portability layer is the only way to
go when you need to cater to more then one platform.

Actually, it's not a Cocoa app in any platform. It's a Carbon app
on the Mac. There is no such thing as Cocoa for Windows. iTunes on
windows is probably just built on the Win32 api or MFC.
There used to be something like cocoa in windows for webobjects
back in the days (i forget what it's called, yellow something...).
Closest thing to cocoa on any other platform is GNUStep. It's an
implementation of openstep, which is a direct descendent of cocoa.
I'm not sure if they've ported it to windows though.

I guess if we are talking about Mac OS X version, then most likely
answer will be YES. What about Windows version? Does anyone
actually knows how exactly Windows version of iTunes were
developed? Does Apple have "Cocoa for Windows" API? Any chance
they will release it?
