OSX at least has a central certificate store (Keychain), although it's not up to the tasks of the world I wish to have. Other OS's provide no central store, so each application maintains their own key store.
Windows has had its own centralized certificate store and APIs since NT 4.0's release in 1996. Firefox and Java are the only mainstream software can think of on Windows that insists on using their own certificate stores (really just a "pile of world-readable files") instead of the built-in per- machine+per-user certificate store on Windows.
