It is still applicable, but there are new configurations that may be more
useful than either of the 2 alternatives discussed. You might want to
investigate ClickOnce deployment, which is a sort of hybrid of a web and
desktop application. And check out WPF/E
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/bb187358.aspx), which is also a
kind of new hybrid.

Hello Peter,

Yes and not :)
Deskop is still firm but web changed a bit since then - AJAX, WPF/E were
introduced. They won a part of apps at destops, but I suppose that destop
wont be erradicated at all at the neares 5-10 years. There are too much apps
which are really good at destop, not the web.
Such kind of messengers, CAM, editors and etc.
