Please elaborate.  What am I missing?

I thought Apple has been factoring out all the core stuff and then  
Cocoa and Carbon were modified to work on top of them.   
CoreFoundation, Core* ... (the necessary graphics and other parts of  
the layer below the Application Frameworks).

Of course, an Objective-C program is just a C program with a run-time  
environment, so Objective-C shouldn't be a problem.

I'm not suggesting you could now take any Cocoa program and make it  
run on the Core stuff they have ported to Windows, but you could port  
what you needed to make one or two apps run in a fashion.

Cheers,
Ashley.
