Microsoft has announced the UI requirements for Windows Vista. It seems that even Microsoft has a 12 step program:
1. Use the Aero Theme and System Font (Segoe UI)
2. Use common controls and common dialogs
3. Use the standard window frame, use glass judiciously
4. Use icons and graphics consistent with the Windows Vista style and quality
5. Use task dialogs for new or frequently used dialog boxes and error messages
6. Use Aero Wizards

11. Use notifications judiciously
