They had a java applet for a while, which run on any browser. So the move is deliberate.

Apparently Microsoft is trying to make a killer app to bring the masses back to Windows. But IMO it's too late.

There's sort of a cute easter egg in the Photosynth demo - see if you can find the photo of Stephen Hawking wheeling around the Piazza San Marco.
