| There really isn't much of a need for Office to go to Cocoa right now. It would take a massive effort, that would be probably be well over a year to do it. Another thing, is that I seriously doubt that Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger will go to Cocoa, because these are two things that are going to help make up MSN Explorer for Mac. MSN Explorer for Mac is set to be released in January, and if IE and MSN Messenger go to Cocoa at the end of next year, to early 2004, that means MSN Explorer would have to be re-written in Cocoa too, because it uses the engines of both to function. In addition to that, I believe I read somewhere, that Microsoft is planning on using parts of Entourage for the MSN Explorers E-mail program. All of this is supposed to be integrated together, and I just don't see Microsoft spending the money, or resources to pull all this stuff in Cocoa, when MIcrosoft is slowly beginning to question their future with Apple. From what I understand about programing, I don't think you can take something written for one API, and use parts of that programs functionality in something written in another API. I maybe wrong, but, if this wasn't true, then why don't all the Photoshop Classic plugins work in Photoshop for X?  |
