Hi Andrew,

no offense, but please try to inform yourself before posting. It takes
a few more minutes, but it's definitely worth that.
There are UI guides for all major platforms, the Ooo wiki has put a
good selection together:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/UI_Style_Guides *. So, yes,
you can win. All you need is that behaviour differs a bit from
platform to platform.
Firefox and Thunderbird do this and they feel almost like native
applications on Windows, Mac and Gnome (not really on KDE,
unfortunately). Of course, Linux has no HIG for itself, but that's
because Linux means only the OS kernel which doesn't provide any
graphical applications by itself.

* The KDE link there is out of date, it should be:
