Hi Chipp,
In anycase, I'm not sure dialogs are necessarily an OS specific thing anymore. I think some people who use multiple OS'es-- and there are more of these people-- may have a consistent contextual memory of button placement, rather than preferred OS placement. IOW, they relate to button placement in context of the specific app they're using, not the OS they're on.
This fascinates me. To my mind I think the day will come where either the application (or the OS) will allow the user to customize this. Stuff like Boot Camp, Parrels, VMware etc are being used increasingly as well. Being able to adjust the defaults according to user pref's rather than just the local UI convention could well be a usability issue in itself as it would certainly seem this is going to be an increasing problem particularly with less sophisticated users who can not (or will not) make the mental jump.
