to expound. if you want to be a microsoft developer, you're bound to be overwhelmed by the amount of resources available. A lot of people (particularly Mac users) blindly accuse MS of churning out crap across the board, but this isn't an accurate assessment. In fact, the one thing they do very well is make development easy for everyone through innovative tools and plentiful resources. This is evidenced by the crazy amount of windows applications available out there. freeware, shareware, commercial. toooons of libraries, components, open source, articles, you name it. This ironically, why you see so many security holes - it's less the OS's fault and more the success/pervasiveness of the OS itself (IMO).
In the Mac world, development has long been a black art. So few resources. Poor documentation/examples. But all that's changing. Soon Apple will catch up to MS, or at least come close if they can penetrate the business world. But for now, getting everyone on track by learning Cocoa is crucial, and largely why Adobe's getting left out in the cold.
