Apple's primary API for Mac OS X going forward is Cocoa.  They're not 
going to throw it out.  Every new Mac OS X application coming out of 
Apple is built using Cocoa.  Most of their new technologies are 
implemented in Cocoa first.

Also, Apple's not going to "just go out of business."  They're 
profitable and they have an extremely strong cash position for their 
size and burn rate.  If you understand business, you'll see that it 
means they're going to be around for a while.
