I've attempted, unsuccessfully, to find statistics on how much day-to-day tasks are conducted in a web-browser vs desktop applications in a contemporary business environment. Think MS Outlook vs Gmail, Excel vs web-based CRM, etc. I am sure the percentages vary significantly from company to company, and form industry to industry.
So, I am interested in opinions of professionals, and if anybody has any insight, or personal opinion, I would be very interested in hearing it. Or if you know of any research on this, would be interesting as well.
