When you have already "Apply"d settings in the options dialog and then press cancel the options are reset.
Which makes the apply button useless.

I wouldn't necessarily use the word "useless" exactly, but I second the opinion that this is definitely not the way the Apply/Cancel buttons are suppossed to work.

Why would you apply and then hit cancel?

Simple: made some changes, applied, made more changes and want to cancel only the latter changes.

ok - I get it now. when you hit apply commit those values. when you hit cancel ignore any changes you made up to the previous apply (if there was one).

Yes, that's the way the "Apply" usually works in Windows programs.
MSDN says if you don't support this functionality you should leave Apply disabled.

Would it be in appropriate now to say "We noticed that already" ? Especially in regards to the options dialog in VS6.
