Interesting -- you'll notice that this comes from the .NET documentation, not the UI guidelines. It looks like Microsoft needs to update the UI spec, or that .NET doesn't conform to the UI spec. ;-P

Yeah, I did notice that, though it seemed at least vaguely official. The UI guidelines don't explicitly say the focused pushbutton *shouldn't* become the default button, though they don't say it should, either. Of course, the fact that MS supplied System components have this behavior is also a reasonably good argument in favor of it.

Agreed.

I filed a bug report against their UI spec documentation to include this juicy tidbit and verified the report as a bug.
