Creating a desktop presence for your web initiatives has traditionally been an expensive undertaking, due to the lack of a consistent platform across Apple, Windows and Linux operating systems. It was also difficult to leverage web branding and rich media assets to the desktop because of the low level programming required.
The emergence of rich media runtimes for the desktop such as AIR from Adobe and WPF from Microsoft creates a platform which can utilize the skills of design agencies within the world of desktop development.
You can use desktop applications to extend the reach of your online solution or to leverage the extra power of the user's machine. You can also improve performance of online applications by offering an offline solution or improving speed of execution by caching data locally.
