IMHO the word "installed app" shouldn't even exist. What's the use of "installing" an application these days?

Of course this goes hand in hand with an instant start (no dreaded splash screens please), and not having to download gigabytes upon gigabytes of data upfront.

Modern web apps might be bad at this, and browser engines might be bloated, but native apps aren't any better (even heavy web pages still load many times faster than - for instance - starting Visual Studio or Photoshop).
