This assumption is correct if we are designing desktop applications.
But, what about online apps? We cannot determine what browser the
visitor is using, and then from it, decide the order of the buttons. How
about the millions of Google's users? Google displays the primary action
button (i.e. OK) on the left.

I think Luke W's article (posted on this thread previously) answers a
lot of our questions based on research and statistical data. Primary
button should be on the left, secondary button on the right. Buttons
should be left aligned.
