message: The chart lacked info on the browser support for netvibes, So I helped a lot, by editing the browser support to be more current, and factual, as only IE7 support was listed at the time.

Should we change the license, or keep it as-is?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychcf (talk • contribs) 04:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I suggest we remove the comparison chart from this article. It primarily serves as a marketing tool for the vendors
included here. The other main purpose it serves is to keep us busy removing entries that are not notable. See the edit
history to get an idea of the percent of edits having to do with the comparison chart, most of which are either vendors
trying to add a non-notable entry or one of us deleting a non-notable entry. Ronald Joe Record (talk) 23:10, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, thats like throwing out the baby with the bath water, if the entries are notable, and if the entries have articles, I do not think we should delete the table just due to spam. A better measure would be to protect the article. --SF007 (talk) 19:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The comparison chart is not the baby in the bath here. The baby is wearing some cream that attracts ants. We keep picking the ants off of the baby but they keep coming back. Further, all our time is spent removing ants rather than caring for the baby. I'm suggesting we remove the attractant from the baby. I don't find much value in the comparison chart. Perhaps, if significant value is perceived in such a chart, it could be moved to a separate page and referenced from here. Ronald Joe Record (talk) 19:29, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  trademark webtop 

message: This article has problems because the term "webtop" has been applied in so many different ways and to many radically different products.  The article doesn't do justice to differentiating between them.  SCO coined it to describe a VNC plugin.  webOS products also call themselves "webtop".  Motorola uses the term as a product name for their cellphone-laptop integration technology.  More recently, it describes laptop hardware that is shipped with minimalistic web software desktops, such as Google Chrome OS.  Some have even claimed that the term "webtop" describes any low-end laptop at all, such as the OLPC laptop.  Should we replace this article with a disambiguate or in some other way try to resolve the confusion?   --flopflipper  —Preceding undated comment added 02:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguate? 

message: A Web App is a standalone EXE file that has a built-in browser that loads the internal script. It is NOT a bunch of html files that run locally and are therefore dependent on a browser, as this article seems to suggest! See web-app engines like Node-Webkit to understand what Web Apps are.

A total rewrite is necessary here.

replies: text: It depends on the technology. Not all webapps are EXE files. But I agree that this article is very muddled with conflicting definitions of a web desktop. Thecorbaman (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
