Dr Greg, the situation you describe below is quite rare from what I've seen. If a winform app would suffice then why was it important for the web app to work on multiple browsers? Multiple browser support is usually only really needed for Internet facing apps. Dev teams usually just tell the users which browser internal apps support and just avoid the multi browser support issues.
