"It appears that desktop-based applications are more secure from face
value, but our model discounts data loss from hard
drive failures, bad backups, and all of the other means that isolated
pieces of hardware can refuse to work. When you add in the added
convenience of accessible-from-anywhere, continuously backed-up, low
administration services, it is quite easy to see
how many people prefer using webmail and equivalent systems."

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
