Luke W's article (linked to earlier in this thread) was good. Given that placing the buttons at the bottom right of the form is the least usable position, I wonder if the rule "OK on the left if buttons are left align, OK on the right if right aligned" illuminates anything. Are things placed rightmost more "primary" then things in a right-aligned group that are not the rightmost item? I'm not advocating this, just curious if anyone has analyzed button placement for this difference.
