This basically makes Chrome a machine-independent development platform, right?

They might actually pull off this web apps store idea.

Not yet, but they're working on a solution using the LLVM bitcode format:

Not truly machine-independent. How can you run x86 code on an ARM architecture, and vice-versa? Although if they do have this feature in Chromium it could make a huge difference in performance of web apps.
