Google Chrome web browser

The second problem is internet connection. I've been using several lines ~1-2MBit and there have always been lag caused by network traffic. Again, maybe one day....but still: what for?

1-2Mbit is really in the lower end of the spectrum, unless you count dial-up. At the same time, online applications like Google Docs doesn't require you to be connected while working on documents. "Gears" which comes included in Chrome by default allows you to use Google Docs off-line.

Obviously there are shortcomings with online apps (which you pointed out), and I think Google will attempt to address those problems with Chrome.

Use portable software. From my experience it actually lives longer than web submissions, because I've lost several passwords in my life.

Keeping portable software up-to-date can be complicated, and I'm not sure it's even legal to make commercial software portable.
