Let me state in other words

I want to use CORBA for my applications. CORBA is an standard
specification. Why I need to write any code at least when I want to use
CORBA implementation i.e. ORB, specific to an ORB?

I know its trivial to make changes in spec as well as implementation to
ensure that the programmers code specific to CORBA (ORB) should not
change as per ORB. Also it doesn't takes much even for a programmer
to include appropriate headers as per ORB but still.

Secondly I want to write applications that are going to use CORBA
middleware. Doesn't it make sense for the middleware to provide
uniform system interface as well to enable complete portability of not
only programming/ development but distribution/ deployment as well.

If you feel that distribution and deployment of an application is a
trivial issue refer to "Deployment and configuration spec for CCM
components".

At least to an extent those issues can be made much simpler if the
developer need not write code specific to an os, and this layer is
abstracted within middleware itself.

I think OMG will certainly address these issues sooner or later. But
vendors should themselves take active interest and participate in
standardizing this layer.
