Do you seriously believe that webapps would eventually replace desktop apps ?
- indranil 17y ago
  Yes. Not in the way they are right now, but yes, web based applications, running off remote servers, maybe interfacing with a desktop client or something similar to that is the future.

  Some desktop apps yes, actually many of them have been already replaced. Other (data/processor intensive: graphic arts, multimedia, etc...) don't think so.

    Could you give me some examples please ?

      Adobe Premiere for example?

        Ah, in many cases webmails have replaced desktop client apps. And in my environment the official suite is Google Docs.
