Netcraft confirms that desktop applications are dead! Also Desktops.
Seriously this bunk is garbage. Perhaps for personal use, there may be some transition. I know I use some google docs as I don't want to bother buying a personal copy of office for hundreds of dollars for the amount I actually use it outside of work... Though I probably have used OpenOffice more.
In a corporate environment? Just no. This also happens to be where most of the usage is located. It is not even close, it is absurd. Ask a system admin about what happens when just one connection to a DB goes down, one specific and specialized application, or part of a network, or the internet... Now imagine if this happened to normal everyday office productivity software... Buhahahaha! Chaos.
There are certain things that may go a bit farther, shared documents over networks, or virturalized desktops to share specific software, but even that has limits. The last one usually to combat deployment issues and non-standard desktop configurations, however even then we have control over the resource.
