Why does a OOC JPEG of a Canon not look like the one from a Nikon, Olympus, Sony etc. ? Because each vendor does the internal RAW processing different. The vendors RAW engines (Ken Rockwell calls this "secret sauce") influence the processing and are the reason for introducing the vendor/camera specific processing as third factor.
