I believe this is possible today via PhoneGap-ish Desktop App frameworks
and with Windows 8 you can build desktop apps with HTML5.  Ubuntu is
also working on making desktop apps from web technologies.  As well as
Chrome OS.  :)

HTML5 will soon be the most ubiquitous UI technology for web, desktop,
and mobile apps.  :)

I've seen this assertions multiple times in the past for a number of technologies. Smileys included :-) And it happened to be true that each technology allowed this and that, but by that time fashion said that it was the turn to redo everything in a new cool technology. People asserting that now it will be different are much like people saying that history was ended in 1989.

sandbox users.

Actually, Mac OS X Lion does application sandboxing, but at the moment I don't know much about it.
