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.

It is not as expensive as porting your code from win32 to cocoa or from cocoa to win32, unless your project has 100 lines of code or less. $4k is one developer for one week. For any project bigger that 30 man days, $4k for a truly portable toolkit is well worth it for your code will be way less expensive to maintain.
