John, a clearly well-informed reader (although it's still a rumor) has told us that Apple might resurrect a genie during the WWDC, the Windows compatible Yellow Box .
Start with a reminder:
After the takeover of Next, which was accompanied by the return of Steve Jobs, Apple relied on the development of this company to launch the project MAc OS X. They used OpenStep, which was renamed Yellow Box. At that time, Yellow Box was also compatible with Windows.
Since then, Yellow box has been used in the development of Cocoa.
But now back at WWDC. According to the information we received, Apple may have decided to propose its version 2.0 under Windows. The goal is clear, to enable developers working only with this OS to also produce applications for the iPhone, the SDK for the time being only compatible with OS X.
Knowing the place that Apple wants to give the new iPhone ecosystem, such a development would grab all the attention and bring sufficient credit to compel us to publish the details.
Those who doubt the very existence of the Windows Yellow Box need only remember that Safari is now also based on it.
This would be technically very good news. Indeed, developers who choose not to be interested initially by the iPhone, could then decide to use it to create software for computers and which would have the enormous advantage of being compatible with Windows as well as Mac OS X.
See you in two months to check the veracity of this rumor filled with potential developments.
