A Desktop GIS is what you switch to when you realize that the browser makes a really poor operating system, and moving outside of it and using the rest of your computer is important to accomplishing some tasks. The browser is great for a lot of things. There are also many things it is not great for. Knowing the difference is an important step to being successful in creating a solution that works well to meet the needs of the problem.
