>>Not MY desktop, and even at best of times they controlled perhaps a third of it. Now they are down to a miserable two cores, 3G and 180G of disk, no sound, no video, no USB, no email... just FTP and a share on the host disk. No visits either, just clipboard synchronization.

LOL. Meanwhile we're about to release a new Windows desktop app- which makes sense because browsers keep changing and native apps are easily deployed and blazingly quick. Craig Berntson observed a while back that some apps are for desktop and always will be: he's right, and with even Linux desktop poster child Munich reverting to Windows, we might as well accept that desktop app = Windows app.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
