...its simple math to me ...the net is 70-100 times slower than a LAN ...until we get a next generation net with 100mbps speeds, no browser app can have a gui "just like" a client server app ...the best we can hope for is a thin client that works reliably and transparently with disconnected record sets ...and thin clients are inherently single app ...which isn't good enough by far for too many of my needs. ...imnsho, this is the reason behind MS pursuing dotNet with such tenacity when they already had a pretty good thin client in Terminal Server.
