Web Apps charging in , Desktop Softwares may be History soon !!
I was just pondering over the current progressive scenario in the Computer world , more and more softwares are being replaced by their online counter parts . We have numerous examples like
1. Office – Google Docs,Zoho
2. Feed Reader – Google reader,newsgator online etc.
3. Multimedia – online streaming sites like YouTube, Imeem,last.fm
4. Converters – Online video/audio/document converters are there .
and i can quote several other categories like Image editing,Games and everything else , with the increaing coordination between Web browsers and developers , it seems that one day all our local desktop apps would go on-line . technologies like google gears,adobe air are all making these web apps look and perform faster so as to beat up their desktop counterparts , and the greatest advantage you get is Platform independence,anywhere access,no processing overload on your system ( except processing that javascript) .
Still many applications would remain on desktops, but any application that’s small can be shifted to online status, especially those nifty library management,hospital management etc.

In my opinion its from both side. If webapps are coming into Desktop domain, so as Desktop Software are pushing into web domain. There are hell lot of desktop software those seemlessly connecting to internet and in a way trying to replace web apps. We have I-Tunes, WindowMediaPlayer(to some extent), SubDownloader, online drive, dropbox, gtalk etc.etc. So my point here is that, in effect the boundary between desktop and web software is fading. As a result we are getting more useful, connected, simpler apps.
