I have my doubts if only for the reason that people like to touch
and feel things. IOW the thin client craze of a few years ago failed
because people like the association of having their data locally.
Add to that the fact that Microsoft software continues to
cause serious security problems and it makes a good case for
not storing/using any web based applications like office suites
for example.
Your subject line implies the applications in the future will be
web based and that is what I am addressing.
I don't think it's going to fly.
