its happening in small degrees. i work in a retail environment and several of our design and special ordering programs run in firefox using java. firefox is basically our thin client desktop. easy to deploy just upgrade the app on the server side and the clients immediately have access to the new apps. so it has its uses and is prob not going away. as for home desktop use doubt its going to seriously overthrow traditional apps. it seems more of a novelty. but ultra portable devices are another story where storage is a premium one could fire up google docs on their iphone/umpc/cloud/android/netbook gizmo and save it and access it later on another device or send it via gmail to a friend.
