I kinda curious how OS X is handling stored application preferences? Is there any way to sync carbonized preferences between OS X and OS 9? Will it be as simple to manage as in OS 9?

Prefs for Carbon apps seem to be stored in ~/Library/Preferences/ with the same name as the file would have in MacOS 9

I don't see the need for syncing prefs. If an app is Carbonized, it should just store its prefs in that folder. If you reboot and run the same app on MacOS 9, it's a different system that's running so the prefs should be saved in a different location.

For storing per user, per app preferences you can use CFPreferences, which stores preferences in XML files in the Library/Preferences folder in the user's home folder. Preferences can be in various different domains, which are accessed in an ordered fashion (so global user preferences are overridden by per-app or per-host preferences, for instance).
