Exactly, except Microsoft has taken it to the logical conclusion we all want supporting all platforms, and sadly Apple hasn't. I have code that runs on both iPhone/iPad and shares most of it with the Mac version yet I have to build the Mac as a separate app and submit to a different store. That sucks.



I bet that apple is working on this, and Microsoft just got there first. Not to take anything away from Microsoft, this is awesome!


Totally.. see the appearance of TextKit on iOS using tons of NS* classes instead of UI* classes, and UITextAlignment being replaced with the OSX NSTextAlignment, etc.

I doubt its a very high priority though given how small the OSX Desktop market is in comparison.. it'll just be a very slow merging ;)
