It is not trying to replace SaaS, it is just trying to say there is also a place for Software consuming those services and running components locally. Do you want to write emails in a browser or use something like Outlook? – Depends on what I am doing. Do I want the email server in the cloud – again there are pro’s and con’s for both. The title of the post was in response to another post I mentioned called ‘Google Gears – A lifeline for SaaS?’, I think that getting a browser to run offline is OK for some apps, but others would do better with a dedicated client app. Microsoft now has quite an extensive range of SaaS – http://www.microsoft.com/online and http://crm.dynamics.com and I think it is made a more powerful proposition with the integration with software running locally. Thanks for the comment!
