cocoa and ms windows

Hello!

This list probably contains most of the people with dual-world knowledge (Mac and MS-Win), therefore I would like anybody with such experience to please give me some directions: ms-win how-to for experienced cocoa developer.

If this is off-topic, please email me directly at ij.cocoadev at gmail.com.

I have avoided MS until now, but there is a need for a small app to run on Windows too, and it seems that I am to be responsible for making it happen or at least start it (don't ask!).

What would be the easiest (fastest) way to write the MS-Win native version of the app? I am interested in directions about frameworks (combination of .NET and Cygwin?), tools and some beginner books/ links, and also how to handle this MS development (is there anything like free ADC account?). I have over 15 years of cocoa experience, but 0 years of any Windows development (that's where "beginner" part comes in).

This app is basically a web client, doing HTTPS queries and parsing some simple XML responses, running a command-line tool written in C for Unix (quite complex, can't rewrite it) and displaying its results. So it's NSURLConnection, NSXML, NSTask on the backend and NSOutlineView and NSBrowser and NSTextView on the gui front. I probably could get away with supporting only Win-XP and up. I've got intel mac, so I can run ms-win stuff.

Thanks,

izidor
