I’ve been working on defining what an Internet Desktop Application is. In that effort I’ve created a living page to try and define what an IDA is. In it I try to list the best qualities of both browser-based applications, and desktop applications. I will be referring to this definition as I evaluate many things on this weblog.

I don’t believe there is any runtime or environment that currently meets all of these qualities. But as long as some come close, compromise in the right areas, and are heading in a good general direction, we will be able to do some interesting work!

Read the definition!
