Conformity, or continuity? I find the two platforms completely interchangeable, with neither one being very different from the other. I think the idea that there are glaring differences is just a hold over from the days when there really were major differences. Both of them make toast that looks the same, tastes the same, is cooked in generally the same way, but only one of them fits the most sold size of sliced bread. So you can either wait for people to make Poser RyeBread 5 in a size that fits your toaster, or you can cut off the edges and put it in your toaster as is (a virtual windows engine). Either way everyones going to end up making that same crispy bread product; with a little strawberry jelly if you are lucky.
