Using Chrome as an example is really, really funny.
How about GIMP? Every Linux distro before Ubuntu? Lotus Notes?
Yes, one thing has been lost though - that smug feeling of eliteness, being able to do something with a computer no normal user could. Like attaching a printer and having it print right away.
