Microsoft vs webOS?

The topic of software accessible via a browser from any computer is more relevant than ever. Microsoft announces web technologies as the main vector of development for the current five-year period, Adobe buys Macromedia and is preparing to release a web version of Photoshop, Google challenges the industry by promoting its office suite. There are a lot of disputes on this topic, but I see three obvious advantages of this approach:


1. Centralized data storage;
2. Availability of data and means of their processing from any computer connected to the Internet;
3. The best software delivery scheme where the user does not need to download updates, keep order in the system, etc.

Problems:
1. The Internet in the right amount is not always and not everywhere;
2. Privacy, safety and stability of services and data from the user's point of view.

Now imagine that either in the standard functionality of Windows Home Server, or how easily connected options to it Microsoft rolls out an office suite and an online hard drive with a convenient web interface and synchronization for offline work + a full set of features for backup, encryption, etc. What solves both problems. Pro compatibility with mobile devices, corporate software, etc. Think yourself about the support of third-party software, if you wish, too.
An interesting picture, right?)
