Definitely. My employer has been doing this. Which is in theory great for us doing desktop deployments.

However, they need to specify some basic standards compliance (ie HTML levels etc). So far the problems we have had:

• One app requires Netscape 4.x (yay! - supposedly to be replaced early next year)
  
• One's 'required plugin' initially failed on Pentium-4's - until patched.
  
• Another "requires an old version of Acrobat to view reports" - or to stuff around endlessly with preferences (which users can change back - breaking their use).

Aaarrggghhhhhh... Might as well be a binaries that only runs on Win95b....
