Porting 'legacy' QT apps with too much functionality in the QT bits to a browser hosted environment could, I imagine, form a case in favor of simplifying software delivery. (That, or forcing a desktop upgrade to i7's. Think of the kickback opportunities!)

I'd rather just ship a Qemu image. Or have OSes handle sandboxing properly, and make it possible to run native apps off the web directly.
