I have to agree with Wolfgang here. The future is not in _replacing_ existing technologies, it's about getting all the parts to _collaborate_ -- yes, the buzword _integrate_ is out the door as well ;-) All in all, there's a place for web apps and a place for standalone apps: e.g. i'd hate to wait for a reload of a webpage when i'm scanning the barcode of a product at a cash register. Does that mean web apps are of no use in a business environment? Not at all, they have a great place in reporting and giving outside limited access, it just won't work for day-to-day appliances where every second counts.
