desktopize.com and zoho.com makes the similarity between proprietary web applications and proprietary desktop software very clear, by making them appear as the same thing.
I think the solution is to run free software webapps on your own broadband connected computers, and put them behind a secure authentication gateway so that even if they are security risks in the web applications, you are not vulnerable to attack.
I’ll be moving away from the proprietary web applications like GoogleMail as soon as I have got rid of all my proprietary desktop software - I need a wireless adaptor for my laptop that works without proprietary firmware, and a new workstation.
