The Rich Applications concept is driven from the limitations of web apps. One big limitations of web apps is there is no easy way to do a push from a server to the desktop. Reverse Ajax only goes so far in dealing with this. I don't know if it was even doable before Ajax There is also a new trend around combining the two.

Outside of applications, a lot of companies are turning to thin clients to save money. What is thin client(in terms of PC hardware)? A thin client is a computer that usual only has components for sound, I/O and networking. Usually a CPU is not required but small cheap ones are implemented. These "clients" connect to a server and access a session of windows via terminal services. LTSP is a Linux technology that also does similar things. Essential a company only has to buy one copy of the software that runs on the server and everyone can use it(this is the combination I mentioned before). The only thing the sends back is mouse movements and keystrokes, visuals are rendered by the client. In a world where visualization is getting popular and companies are tightening there belts, I believe that thicks client apps will be reduced because they are more expensive and I believe that having access to an application on-demand is the wave of the future which thin client/thin client apps can provide.

Thin clients don't always have to be web apps either. I dont understand why there is this huge trend towards web apps. It's retarded, the UI is just a hack. For mine, use winforms and citrix/terminal or the linux equivolent for internal business applications. I hate the HTML and the web, I wish it would bugger off and the world would develop with winforms. :) Yay for winforms.
