Are Web 2.0 applications using a form of desktop virtualization?

You Don't Know me Right?

Just in case, Dan Does... but that was chatty e-mail stuff.

Just to rough things up, how about doing a Head to Head with that SaaS blog bloke, Phil Wainewright.

http://blogs.zdnet.com/SAAS/

(AKA Software as Services in preparation for Software and Services, grin)

He had a good old go at AppStream for suggesting they were doing it, SaaS, and FastHosts for doing it the AppStream way.

My 'point' being.

You are questioning a 'clients' interpretation of what WEB2.0 is.

SaaS as provided by people like SalesForce et al uses the same delivery method as used by WEB2.0, Java/Flash 'applications' via the webrowser to the end user.

Are they are 'confusing' it with Virtualization because someone is trying to sell them the idea that it is?

In the meantime Phil wants to question (rubbish) the ability of Virtualization to deliver SaaS.
