Windows Generic Software Updater API (Example: Steam, Origin)

Question

i just noticed that the updaters of steam and origin look very similar.

enter image description here

Is this just some "coincidence" or is there some generic updater api available in Windows that i never noticed?

Because both changed lately to this new style which resemble because they both use the standard windows controls. — Nick Russler, Mar 01 '13 at 10:19

Most probably one has copied the other's user messages and they look similar.

i just wondered if this is somehow related to windows 8 which i got recently, because i remember the steam updater looked really different (http://www.hlportal.de/images/specials/steam_update1s.gif). – Nick Russler Feb 28 '13 at 20:39
