Why do we need huge hard drive or why do people become selective when it comes to operating systems?Be it a MAC, PC or a Unix system.. we can do exactlyy the same things online with the advent of web2.0..Is this the end of desktop applications era ? I mean seriously if we observe closely, here are the online replacements for the most often used desktop applications:
Microsoft word --- you have your google e-docs
Excel --- again google e-docs
Outlook --- Gmail or new Yahoo
Appoitnments or reminders --- google calender
Photoshop --- online photo editor
Some more advantages when we go online are no installation required, no upgrade headaches, access from anywhere as long as you have internet connection, no fear of hard drive crash or loosing your data..So why do we need a desktop application?
