“The problems with browser-based approaches … have become all too well-known”

“The current enthusiasm for a browser-based enterprise is shortsighted. As firms trade in their desktop clients for browsers they’ll find: primitive functionality… bandwidth gluttony… terrible usability.”

IBM Puts New Spin On Client Computing

(May 2004)

“…It sounds a bit like heresy, but the web-based portal does not really make a very effective interface to functionality that resides in many systems"

“Web-based solutions just can’t provide the rich users interface and performance which users like our traders need.”

“As proof of their disillusionment, a staggering one-third of IT decision makers report having plans for migrating some applications back to richer client environments.”
