问题
If my understanding of the Windows Portable Executable specification is correct, relocation tables are only needed when libraries cannot be loaded at their prefered addresses. Why do some applications (e.g. chrome.exe) contain a relocation table? Are applications not always loaded at their preferred addresses?

It's for ASLR
AFAIK, current system loader don't relocate .exe files, maybe because it will increase loading time.
However, in next versions of OS, loader will relocate EXEs. (When hardware will be fast enough)
