what is difference between desktop and web application?

Answer Posted / a gupta

1. A web application is software that is delivered to users
from a web server like the Internet. Some businesses run
web applications on an intranet as well WHEREAS A desktop
application is a self-contained program that performs a
defined set of tasks under the user control. Desktop
applications run from a local drive and do not require a
network or connectivity to operate or function properly,
though if attached to a network desktop applications might
use the resources of the network.
2. Web applications can be easily accessed from any
computer or location that has Internet access WHEREAS
Desktop Application is sysytem dependent.
3. Desktop applications need to be individually installed
on each computer, while web applications require a single
installation.
