It runs a webpage in a separate process, in a special environment with
minimal chrome, elevated privileges and a few other changes from a
browser.

Running in a separate process means that it's not affected by browser
closings or crashes.

On the wishlist for features is the ability to have a taskbar icon
with balloon popups.
