stuff that runs in chrome? that's not really a desktop app.

  Well, Chromium is FOSS so you can distribute it with your application if that need arises.

    He specifically wrote that he looks for platform native and desktop app. I don't think Chrome fulfilling anything here, and Chrome is not FOSS. Chromium is. But then again, that's not what he's requesting at all.

  And Windows 8.

    Windows 8 HTML5 apps are designed completely differently from on-the-Web HTML5 apps and Native Client apps. the carryover is significant but you don't get a Windows 8 port for free.

      Well, event for web apps you have to make sure all the browser work as expected...

That's more like the worst of both worlds, going through the NaCl API is a pain, and debugging a NaCl app is much trickier than usual. It's a ton of work for little benefit, compared to just using Qt.
