>No more desktop applications? :O I'm a bit sceptical here Rick. That would mean that MS Office, Quicken, Visual Studio, etc. will all go web? What about ClickOnce applications? Do they have any future?

>Personnaly, I hate web apps as a user and as a developper. I miss the rich features that we have in WinForms and I find web apps way more complicated and way longer to develop than their WinForms conterpart.

>I've managed so far to keep working in WinForm-like apps and I know that I need to learn web development, but I don't like the idea that I will be working in web-apps only in the future :(

>>I'm not sure. I guess I think for the moment for most apps WinForms is still the best choice, or if that's possible Win32 apps for typical utility applications - small and lightweight.

>>Shrug - it's a tough call there really aren't any great solutions out there anymore for the desktop - no vendors are putting any effort anymore into building desktop applications...
