This is a key point. The apps I've been exploring today - which include a powerful MS Project clone, a full-featured image editor, a Scrivener clone (serviceable but not as fully featured, yet), remote desktop software and various music services - are not ChromeOS apps, they're HTML5 apps, and so are cross platform. Java and Flash promised but never quite achieved this.

I could have a number of devices, all running different operating systems, but as long as their browsers were compliant my chosen suite of apps would run on all of them.
