Title: RE: Making the case for non-browser "Web apps"

Richard,

I think its great that you can download information via Metacard through the web. Unfortunately, in the business world that I'm in, MetaCard over the web is a non-starter for the following reasons:

Our users LOVE the web and want everything web-enabled. BUT they want it from a standard browser window - nothing else. The reasons for this are pretty clear. The users work in a distributed environment and want to be able to log in to any computer, anywhere, anytime, and bring up the information they want.

They don't want to install an application on every machine in order to run it. They also don't want to train people to use yet another tool. There are other reasons but I've gotta run.

If there is any way of running MC in a browser window I'd love to hear it.
rgds,
Blair
