Then you are not quite making a fair comparison to the Chromebook. You could just as well use Webapps in Windows. And when she has a number of programs she likes that would not be available on the Chromebook then you can't really compare the two.
Just make sure you use the Windows 7 programs, not the Windows 8 ones (except those specifically mention "desktop"), those are all for Metro.
And even very old legacy apps run -- recently Adobe gave away free Acrobat 8 and Photoshop copies on their websites. Work fine after I installed them with XP compatibility -- but they are not supposed to run according to the specs.
