I think you are getting knocked down because you don't want to recognize that some people may disagree with you. You said that outlook is better then gmail. While you might be able to make an argument when you compare it side by side one one machine. You would be mistaken in making that comparison. Gmail kicks ass for me not just because I feel it can replace outlook, but I can have my gmail, on my iphone, I can access it from any computer that has a web browser, I can access it from the linux command line using lynx, or links. Can outlook do that. You need to realize that when they say desktop apps aren't as good as web apps, I think what they are saying is that desktop apps aren't mayby the best way for most people to use apps.

Yeah but the guy in the video explicitly made the comparison between VHS and DVD, and it's an incredibly poor metaphor because it's not true. I get Gmail having more utility than say Outlook for certain things. But I can access my exchange server (I use google apps for business, but used to use exchange) in all the same places I could access Gmail which renders the point slightly moot. I have no issue with people disagreeing, but at least argue the disagreement if you feel strongly enough to vote me down.
