 A friend of mine in the Accounting Software business asked me to explain the difference between Web Apps and Cloud Apps. In particular is the GoPC.net/ TurboCASH actually a world first?
Web Apps are based on a central server and typically use web environments like PHP, ASP and Ajax to give you browser access to the software. Even those apps written in Flash still have that sticky feeling of slow response. This is typical of Online Banking or Airline booking.
The use of the Web apps is only for the public. It makes no sense to
me to make the internal accounting app a web app, because you lose the richness of
the interfaces that we have worked on for 20 years to perfect. You also
bind yourself to the nightmare of having your data stored remotely on
someone else's server.

TurboCASH Project Leader Philip Copeman takes issue with Muggie
van Staden that “The new open source community needs less take and
more give. “
In a
recent blog Muggie van Staden appeals to the free loading users
to contribute more to the Open Source movement. His basic thesis is
that taking free software without returning anything is harmful and
threatens “not only to slow momentum, but the viability of the
entire open source model. “
I simply fail to see how any user,
using our software harms us. Users are good for Open Source, not bad. The
more users we get the less threatened we are, not the more
threatened!
