I don't agree. Blue, underlined text is nearly universally understood as a clickable link, and the vast majority of users recognize a standard HTML button widget. These are instantly recognizable and usable. I'd argue that for all practical purposes this is as close to a standard as you can get. Using different link styles, custom buttons and clickable "hot spots" is nonstandard, and forces the user to learn how to use the app. Make the widgets different enough, and users just won't do it. Unless the site is the only place to get what they want, they will go find another site that is easier to use. And this is especially true of the non-techie "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"s who makes up a large portion of the user/customer pool. So why put a user through it? They want fast and easy to use. What's wrong with giving them what they want? And a simple way to do that is to stick as closely as possible to design "standards". I love the ease of use at Google and am thankful that they don't force me to endure their idea of an "experience" to get what I want. They use standard navigation links and buttons and my user experience is great.
