I was just wonder about the number for services beign delivered over the web browser which earlier required a client application to be installed on the computer- wikimapia.org, raaga.com, youtube.com , spreadsheets.google.com and a web based complete office suite called "writely" is gestating in the labs of google . With all this, it is not hard to predict that the future of desktop as we know it, is limited and possibly the future belongs to ubiquitous web browser!- The webtop era.
These developments pose a big threat to Microsoft over its monopoly of windows OS. If most of the applications that one would use will be delivered via a browser, it really would not matter whether the OS on the computer is Windows, Linux or Mac. Ah! this would be an interesting scenario. Browser would become a mighty application and I can already see Firefox winning over in the webtop era.
What opportunities and threats the webtop era will unfold for the businesses would be an interensting thing to speculate? I am still wondering what surprises are ahead in time for businesses !
