In an enterprise scenario (which if you know Stephen's world -- he's much more into the Enterprise world than the SMB world...thus he thinks on a much larger scale), web apps would probably be easier for the obvious examples you've sited. I suppose you could apply the same approach to the SMB level, but my point is that it's not that difficult when you're dealing with smaller sized clients and thus don't have thousands of client downloads to manage. Look at QuickBooks (the desktop app version) for example. It can be done if properly managed/written. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
