One nice thing about .net is that it's open to other languages and
you can use a fully OO language like Eiffel with Design by Contract
(think seamless TDD). Bad thing about .net is it's mainly closed
platform unless you use mono or something like it.

Definitely use .NET for what you want to do you can probably get
away with using MS Visual Studio Express as your development IDE
which is free.
.NET contains all the frameworks and classes you need to do what
you have specified.
For ADC equivalent use http://msdn.microsoft.com (Visual Studio
Express can also be downloaded from there) this site will also have
hundreds of articles and examples. (Actually MS give developers far
more resources than apple do)

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
