Star From Win32 to Cocoa, Part II

General Development A few weeks ago, Ars published part one in a series called "From Win32 to Cocoa: a Windows user's conversion to Mac OS X". In this series, Peter Bright details why he believes "Windows is dying, Windows applications suck, and Microsoft is too blinkered to fix any of it". Part one dealt with the history of both Windows and the Mac OS, and part two deals with .Net, the different types of programmers, and Windows Vista.

Uh... Hello. You have this big ass giant "3rd party high quality visual component vendor" called KDE4 offering all kinds of fancy visual components to add on to QT4. For free. (KDE is more than just a desktop manager)


Except companies have an issue when they're not willing to open source the product - it makes using KDE prohibitive. So, no that is not a very good answer.

However, it also makes for a good case for a company to come along and provide such for Qt. But, just to note - Qt makes it far easier to create such a platform compared to say Win32/MFC/etc.
