Yes, it is. First Microsoft threatened Sun about the Windows LAF in swing. Then to "cover up" the first "mistake" Sun made the Mac LAF only work on MacOS so that they would not have to put up with peoples questions like "why can I use the Mac LAF on all systems but not the Windows LAF?". When swin

Sun promised everyone that all look and feels would work on all platforms. Then they changed the code so that windows LAF and Mac LAF would only work on a windows or mac system. Sun lied to us all. At any rate, you can still make the windows or mac LAF work by making a small change to the swing so
