I think this feature would be a waste of space, the OK button works fine for me. If he starts putting in little things like that we would have to have a 21" monitor running 2048x1536 res to fit all the options on the screen :P All in all I think this would be more clutter than good.

Well, the preferences dialog certainly needs some cleaning up - that's another issue entirely.. :)

But, I really did want to know why you wanted an Apply button - all the visible options in the AIM+ Preferences should "apply" themselves immediately, allowing you to preview them before hitting OK.

Apply buttons are usually used for previewing options, or setting options on one tab while wanting to adjust options on another tab and still being able to hit "cancel" (I can't quite put that reason into words right - but don't worry, it's not that great of a reason anyway..).
