I think two years ago this was the most extended concept about the future of computers (and I was a bit disappointed, tbh), but that changed a lot with tablet market growing: most tablet applications are standalone applications, old fashioned desktop apps (and even some are old fashion client-server apps). This is not decreasing, but the opposite. Even more, I observed that, while big companies, in effect, are moving to web platform and cloud. Small companies prefer desktop applications. As I said in web panel at ESUG: I already saw this happening. Time to time development moves onto one direction (all in the desktop, all in the server) and people seems to think one of the sides will prevail... I think real future is (and always has been) somewhere in the middle... taking case to case to decide, there is no one unique answer. best, Esteban > Or maybe web application disappear over time. > Most device providers creates own app stores which includes native > application for devices (not web applications).
