Okay/Confirm/Continue on the right is easier to hit with the mouse for me since it is in the corner of the window.

But why? Mouse pointer tends to be at a random position relative to a dialog window. According to GOMS, there should be no difference, unless one of the buttons touches screen border or is significantly closer.

Because it's always in the same place with respect to the frame around it, and therefore easier to visually locate.
