I agree with the desktop integration part. Is it just me or is everyone expecting some kind of desktop integration for web applications nowadays?

Is there a way to tackle the problem of IP vendors not wanting to upload their IP? The reason why we are online is that we can leverage on the cloud and make things run 5X, 10x or 20x faster and cheaper.

But will we ever get the IP vendors to trust us? We once thought about doing an 256bit AES client for them to encrypt their data before sending over. But after chewing on it, we felt that the problem is a perception issue. It is a matter of trust. It is like we use our credit cards online because we trust the payment merchants with our details. Will this problem eventually be eroded by time?

Oh btw, I am harnhua's cofounder. Thanks for all the wonderful views and insights.
