>In your latest web app (with the rich UI), which browsers did it run on? If it was multiple, did you need any browser specific code for it? Which OS's would those browsers run on? Do you think that you provided a UI as powerful and seamless as one could build with a Win32 app?

We are currently using only IE 5.x for all the workstations - I haven't tested on Netscrape yet but I probably should. I don't expect any of the client side scripting to break (JavaScript) but you never know!

IE 5.x only runs on Win32 I believe.

I think the UI is appropriate for the app because of the nature of the application - lots of drill-down using hyperlinks, dynamic input controls on a row by row basis according to the data (I can't imagine doing this in a grid), single command button submits, etc.

One thing I can say about this time of UI is we've had to do very little training - apparently the app's pretty intuitive for a new user.
