David: Again, you're wrong. David, have you really seen Windows apps 
lately? Such as, MSN Messenger? Easy CD Creator? Pc Doctor? have you 
seen the horrible skinned, atypical, inconsistent interface they sport? 
And I'm citing some apps from memory, from 3 or more years ago... and 
now the situation seems to be worse.

Consistency is an attribute of MacOS X, GNOME, and KDE, and undoubtedly 
of other desktop environments; but I would never grant that with 
Windows.

Blessings,
