If Native Client gets popular and starts replacing other more 
crossplatform web technologies (truly or at least potentially 
crossplatform) it will hurt interoperability. People with x86 hardware 
get somewhat better performance and the others are locked out, unless 
they write x86 emulation and can live with seriously degraded 
performance.

Just what the world needed: another x86 lock-in. Great plan, Google.
