Why Micorosft doesn't support buttons like OK/Cancel... or YES/No

1. To save code. Adding support for controls in balloons would "balloon"
Agent's code (pun intended).

2. You don't need them. Any programming language you are using to code
Agent ALREADY has plenty of support to present controls in a window. There
is NOTHING special or magical (other than being used by Office which has
their own proprietary code for this) about controls in a balloon. In fact, I
would suggest that control in normal dialogs are going to be MORE
recognizable.

3. You can create your own balloons with controls. Evidence of this are the
HTML Balloons that Nathan Dickerson offers.

4. It's unclear that controls in balloons make sense. Office derived this
model from the ill-fated Microsoft Bob. It was decided at a time when there
was no audio output.

5. Users can turn off Agent's balloons. It would be kind of bad if you
depended on balloon for input and the user turned them off.
