<<I could think of thousands of problems coding Carbon for both targets. You may even find bugs which would have been gone unnoticed if you code only for Classic or X. also don't forget that the MacBU asked Apple to fix/add many things to Carbon just to get Office working... >>


Well, I guess these "thousands" of potential problems didn't prevent Adobe from releasing working versions of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign that run both under OS X and OS 9 natively.


As for what the MacBU asked Apple to fix or add, I guess that, with NDAs ruling the day, we will never know the truth.
