Unfortunately the recipients I have in mind use skype to talk to their kids & friends. It's non negotiable. My guess is that there are a lot of use cases where 1 or 2 missing apps/features are non negotiable.
IMO the solution is to gradually eliminate barriers to switching from windows. This probably means treating the initial hypothesis that the web is all you need as a starting point and trying to keep chrome's complexity down to Android levels while gradually adding "bloat".
I still think ChromOS could take a big slice of Window's market share, maybe bigger than Apple mac.
That's silly, WebRTC sites are popping up every where. My personal favorite is appear.in, you can have your family chat with you just by them clicking a link. What is it about Skype that makes it the only solution they're willing to use?
