"Who Killed the Desktop Application?". Nobody....

Jeff Atwood has a inflamatory post called Who Killed the Desktop Application? in which compares Microsoft Streets and Trips with the Google Maps and concludes that desktop applications-- at least desktop mapping applications-- are dead.
I'm a desktop apps junkie. I mentioned it in the past time and time again that i always would use a desktop app insted of a web app. So this post bothered me and i would like to point out some things : - the post name if fucked up. It implies that desktop applications are "dead" which is simply wrong.
-it compares 2 applications and reaches to a flawed conclusion. Has mr Atwood ever thought that he could find better alternatives for desktop mapping software than MS Strrets and Trips ?
- the web app is Googles. This is a funny thing....when somebody wants to demonstrate the "advantage" of web applications it always uses a Google app. A shocking truth but not every web application runs on huge network of computers. Does mr Atwood really needs for someone to point him to some sloooooooow, fugly web apps ? On the other hand a desktop apps ALWAYS works as better as you computer allows it.
- another thing he mentions it "All the innovation in user interface seems to be taking place on the web, and desktop applications just aren't keeping up" . Actually the innovations in UI design happen nowadays in games. Yeap....you read correct. In games. Which....shocking...are desktop apps.

The conclusion is that's simply a wrong named, misguided (yet another) attempt to (try to) prove that "web apps" are better. Riiiiiiiight.....
