Read: Safari on Windows? Apple and the Origins of the Web

This article really has to be one of the most intriguing articles I have ever read! It is full of insightful analysis of the potential web applications have when built around an open platform.

For quite some time I have been feeling that we as computer users are moving away from using desktop applications, and into online applications. We’re not quite there yet, but the direction we are headed seems to indicate that web applications are the future. And this makes total sense when you realize that you will no longer have to worry about what kind of operating system you have as long as you can connect to the internet. Take the iPhone for example. Apple has pushed Safari on the iPhone as the platform for application development. By creating a web app you can supply users on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone etc.!

I can’t wait to see what the future brings!
