Time To Say Goodbye to Desktop Office Apps?

The article I chose for this weeks current events is an article that talks about web based programs replacing your regular apps such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop. It is a web based suite of programs that Transmedia has come up with called Glide OS 2.0 and it is attempting to replace software on computers and allowing people to have them online. At the moment its expectations are far exceeding its ability to deliver. The suite offers a variety of programs such as a e-mail, calendar, contact list, chat, and file sharing, along with a music player, video player, word processor, a photo editor, a drawing program, a presentation program and a blog writing program.
All of the work you do is not stored on your hard drive but rather Glides servers, which allows you to access your work from anything such as a modbile phone to you desktop computer and everything in between. Only problem is that you need a fast broadband connection so it will work for home users but for people who need to work on the go wont be able to access it unless you are connected to the internet.
This article is important because it could be a reality very soon, although I dont feel it will be as effective as they hope it to be. Not everyone is going to want to have there programs online where they can't access them whenever they feel. Yes, it is nice to be able to access your files from any computer or mobile device but I don't think people will get rid of there actual programs. If I were to get this online program, I would keep my programs and just have the online features for certain things that I know I will be able to access when I have the internet.
