The other important consideration that is being overlooked is the effort by many browser makers to exploit hardware acceleration and script JIT-ing/compilation to enable HTML-centric apps to approach native speeds. This is a HUGE enabler for the NIWEA vision. I have to give Microsoft some big props for what they're doing in IE9 as well as what Google as done with Chrome. The future looks bright!
