Quick nitpicky point:

OS X *does* draw everything in 3D using OpenGL. All 3D-looking widgets 
are, in fact, 3D widgets, I believe.

Heck, I remember that even the Terminal had OpenGL-rendered text.  There 
was a whole thread (elsewhere) about how awful the text looked on it...

but please don't let this post throw the thread off... :)
