Thanks ...all. Confirms most of what I know as of right now. One thing I am wondering about is how people might work with Rich Clients that become almost sovereign over the desktop. Will there be issues or will it be a logical place for people to fall on.
The context switching between groups of apps on your iphone, bringing up widgets in OsX, etc., having collections of work in different "desktops", is becoming a more familiar set of patterns. The promise of Air/Silverlight is to decouple the front end from the underlying objects which as Ambrose suggests make it much easier to build and modify. A lot of this also "depends" on so many issues from what the user has installed, their needs, the cost to develop and support, the skills of your team etc. Love to talk about and better discern from a designer's pov what criteria one would use to evaluate looking making a choice between these different paths from AJAX to Air etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
