Chrome, Firefox, OneNote, Sharepoint, iTunes, Windows Media Center, Camtasia, VMWare, Git, Garage Band, Final Cut Pro, CS5+, True Crypt, Visual Studio 2010, ... The list can go on and on (although some might be slightly older than 10 years old).

Actually, most of these applications are more than 10 years old. And back-end systems, develompent tools and heavy duty media creation apps can hardly be compared to something that's a candidate for a web app.
So as long as you exclude apps that are lousy as web applications then all new good apps are web applications? How pragmatic.
Had to look it up, and only three were older than 10 years old. VS (going back to the first version), VMWare, and Final Cut Pro).
