SproutCore is Apple's open source JS library. Pundits claim that it will kill Flash and it can be used to write desktop apps for web browsers. Using a JS library that uses CSS styling that makes it resemble OSX's look and feel doesn't make it a desktop app :) .

You're mistaken. Take a look at AIR with HTML and Ajax (no ActionScript), you'll find that you can easily develop desktop apps that will run on both OSX and Windows platforms, with hardware interaction and database capabilities.
