While a fair point, it’s important that feature-rich OS components be designed correctly (including security) and this wasn’t the case with Windows.

How many exploits were just a matter of tricking an extra-fancy OS dialog into popping open something it’s not supposed to, escalating permissions alongside it?

On OS X, open/save panels run in a different process via ViewBridge, at least they did last time I checked.
