I've always wondered if cross platform Cocoa fell victim to one of those "Knife the baby" backroom deals with MS to keep Office. A fully supported, commerical Cocoa is to me a much better stick for Apple to use on MicroSoft than the idea of actually porting OSX to Intel (mind you, I don't think that MS should be overly afraid, but unreasonable paranoia is hard-wired into their personality).
Man, it's always a bad sign when an author has to respond defensively to every post about his article. I can think of a few possible reasons:
a) Ego - They're talking about ME!
b) Combativeness - No, YOU'RE wrong!
c) Poor writing - No no no, that's not what I meant! Why doesn't anyone understand what I'm trying to say?
d) All of the above.
Having read a bit of the collected wisdom of dke, I'm guessing d.
