Not everybody works with Microsoft products, however.

And there is the problem.  I'm a Mac person and want to do the same

Will I need to write my own api because yours is specific to windows? 
What about all the other platforms that Squeak is implemented on?

Without careful design, don't you end up back at vendor lock-in?
