Does VNC allow multiple clients to a single server? That's one thing a webapp would be good for. Plus, with a webapp, you don't need anything installed on the client machine. That means you can walk into a situation with dubious/no network, set up a server and a wifi hub, and get a bunch of totally off-the-shelf laptops/tablets operational immediately.
In fact, put the webserver and the app on a stick and the server can be off-the-shelf too. I'm thinking seminars, task forces and commuter buses. And of course home.
