This is partially false :D. Since 4.5 on the mac if you use the class 
QFileDialog (not static functions), it will display the native Mac dialog 
unless you give the flag QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog. Unfortunately this 
feature is not implemented for Windows. As J-P Nurmi wrote the only way to get 
the native dialog on Windows is static functions. Of course you have no 
control on the native one. So, why not using the Qt one instead?
