> The majority of the world simply doesn't need a bloated Windows OS to run their browsers. I am not sure that is limited to Windows exactly, but could be applied to almost any desktop OS. There is plenty of excellent native software on desktop machines that are streaks ahead of anything in a web app. But the problem is that they are difficult to find and install. I would be hesitant to recommend Paint.net to a non-technical user because they would probably end up installing malware by accident. So I suggest they buy a tablet, or use a web app; but neither products are actually better. The user ends up with an inferior product that gives them less freedom, and subjects them to the indignity of app stores and monthly subscriptions.
