All the application works diferent; because the programs are not the
same. The fact that they have all similars UI i guess is because the
market, the money. Therefore only few applications are totally
authentic, this ones are usually the liders.
Another example: Opera. Is fast, efficient... etc. But do you see
something original in its UI?; something which reflect how the program
internally work?. Personally think that opera is trash with the
intention of generate market, And for that they has made almost a clon
of IE.
