IE's widgets are still different than the rest of the OS's.

IE's widgets are only used in IE displayed pages.

Wrong.  The point is that this is a convienient way for IE users to get 
a feel for our product.  Just because IE does it doesn't make it bad.  I 
myself will never use it, as I've grown up on alt left/right arrow.  But 
I'm now a part of a growing minority of users who know this.  Why make 
something harder than it has to be?  Just because someone else did it 
first?  I don't think so.
