Alas, this is becoming less true at least under Windows. More apps seem 
to be using their own "XP-Style" widgets and such, following the style 
of the latest MS Office release - even on older windows variants or XP 
with "burn out my eyes" mode turned off. The primary rule-breaker on the 
Mac is Apple, with their inexplicable obesession with "brushed metal" 
windows. Anyway, I'd say that while the common *nix toolkits are 
converging, the user experience on most other platforms is more 
/different/ apps.
