If you are starting to develop NOW, develop for portability... perhaps use a Cross Platform application framework such as Zinc, zApp, et al. (I would not recommend MFC, as Mac users tend not to like their programs looking like they are running under M$ Windows.) If you have Windoze code that needs porting, it's probably too late to change to Zinc, zApp et al so go for UWND / something from Bristol, ... look in Dr Dobb's for adds about such products.
