Chrome Web Store: screenshot tour of Google's web app marketplace
It's not like the current crop is shabby, either, though. The Web Store is launching with familiar apps like Twitter client Tweetdeck and Popcap's popular tower-defense style game, Plants vs. Zombies. There's also Flixster, eBay, the New York Times ... well, you get the idea. Brand-name apps by the hundreds are already available at launch. It's not just apps, either: the Web Store is a one-stop shop for themes and extensions, too.
For a little help navigating this brave new world of web apps, check out our screenshot tour.

Jay or anyone:
I'm trying to figure out when and how we can get this kind of app tab functionality (back):

I feel like the major bonuses illustrated in the post (may) have evaporated or something. Or am I just missing something?

@Cougar Abogado are you talking about pinned tabs? right-click on any tab.

Yes but No.
If this is a Very Cheap; Very fast; Very Secure; Google InternetMachine then its an appliance.
No set-up just login and away you go.
Always connected.
Starting to look attractive...
No Security Worries.
Lots of Web Apps.
Remote access to apps on your PC.
Hmmm looking good... :-)

@MxxCon
Please take a close look at the images in the link and the specs. I think those app tabs brought a lot more to the table. Bigger/more pronounced favicon, omnibox absent, more computer access, etc. (than vanilla pinned tabs).
