I don't see any real inovation coming from this. All it will do is increase the flood of generic and hobbiest apps in the Marketplace. The best I think we can hope for from this is that it gets more people interested in software development and the inovation spurred later by them.

Don't get me wrong, I love linux and have used it solely for over 4 years now, but why? Most big names offer online versions of their software. With an application that can easily be developed for the net, why create it for the Linux Desktop?
