Tools to create HTML-Based Windows UI in C++

I'm looking for suggestions on technologies to design a windows UI that's powered by HTML. I've run across HTMLayout which seems pretty good if not perhaps a bit limited. Are there any other technologies that would provide a good platform for creating an application UI based on HTML?

You could use chromiumembedded. You get the power of Google's Chrome in your application.

Evernote used CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) when they moved from C# back to C++.

Unlike HTMLayout, CEF has a permissive license, which allows usage in commercial applications without paying royalties. The drawback would be the huge binary size.

Qt has the ability to use CSS to layout ui and some other cool things. MSHTML namespace and COM interfaces allow for some ui styles as well. That's all I know of off the top of my head for C++

Windows 8 when released will provide some sort of API using HTML5 and JavaScript for tile based applications in the start screen.
