Hi All,
At the moment I have to graduate for my master in Business Information
Management and need to do a survey for my thesis. The thesis is about
Web vs. Desktop based applications and the differences perceived by
the user. So not from the management/technology point of view but from
the end-user. I focus now on Desktop vs. Webmail and need a whole lot
Unfortunately the survey does not touch on one of the most
important differences between web based and desktop email systems. With a
web based system all the data is held at the service provider and subject
to their limits and whims, if they go out of business it is presumably all
lost. With a desktop all the data is held on the user's own machine.
Personally I prefer to keep my data on my systems where I can
decide how much to keep and how safe to keep it. The flipside is that if I
want to get at it when I am not near my machines I have to make
arrangements to do so.
