SAAS & clouds are not the direction UK government is going eg tax office & companies house (co. reg. authority) are pushing processing on to applicants PCs (Processing of PDF v. 1.7 editable forms for tax returns by Adobe Reader etc), Central servers are just for upload on completion, Not remote SAAS processing.
Hmmm local examples are even more interesting. I don't quite see the argument against SaaS on remote servers here, though.
I mean: SAAS is _Service_), & Service (& servers) costs serious money. CDROMs & free software can undercut & compete. - One either pays money for service, - Or one gets advertised at to pay for the service, - Or one gets to be harvested in case of some "social" web sites, - Or in case of government, presumably to keep cost down, British tax office for corporation tax & companies house registration are having processing done on users PCs, & they're just providing lots of static web pages & up & down load, but avoiding bulk forms data input processing direct on line (full scale SAAS Service would cost more).
