There is more than just windows and widgets to a GUI,
and while you
might be able to end up with a lowest common
denominator that *looks*
pretty good, you are likely to also end up with a
lowest common
denominator that *feels* terrible on at least one
platform.

So yeah, depending on your requirements, you might
find that using a
lowest common denominator which will look or feel like
crap on at least
one platform is acceptable. As far as I am concerned,
there is no such
things as cross-platform GUIs :)

As a web developer it should be no surprise that i
suggest the browser as the ultimate cross platform
gui. Html4/dom4 is (finally) surprisingly consistant
across, ie,moz,opera and safari and you can
run/develop for moz on most platforms to further focus
development. IMO, most business apps can be well
supported and delivered to almost any platform. There
are exceptions(visually intensive apps) but even those
are increasingly supportable(via svg).

salesforce.com is a comprehenive business app
delivered via browser.

zope.org is a biz/development app

this is a trend whose momentum is just beginning to be
felt,imo
