Has anyone used the new Yahoo! Mail application? Its a lot like your regular e-mail application to the point where I’ve mistaken it for Outlook on occasion. It got me thinking of the direction of web applications in the (near) future.
Do you think we will see more and more websites mimic desktop apps? Or perhaps we will end up with a combination of various widget modules that will create a one-stop shop for users. Also, what does this type of web development mean for the “lowest common denominator”, users who may still be using legacy (or scaled down) systems and software. Is that as much of a concern for developers anymore or is it assumed that users have all the capabilities required to run these advanced new web apps?
