That's a good point. The browser is not entirely useless offline,
but imo in most situations a native application would be better.
For example i prefer to type a short note in notepad over the
browser.

This is ofcourse just my opinion, but i think using the browser
for things that are better suited to do with native applications
can only have a few reasons:

- to be to some extent platform independent, which becomes
moot when activex and such come to play
- to work online, e.g. software as a service.
