Different graphics stacks (graphics hardware, their drivers (of which there are different ones for all major OSes), the display server (on Linux)) draw things slightly differently. As I remember this especially applies to text rendering using different fonts, but slightly tilted lines, bent lines, and color blending is probably also part of it, and more.
