Interesting...
Although I expected the vast majority to prefer a pure Web 2.0 application without anything to be installed locally the poll reveals that a stand alone WITHOUT connection to the internet is the most desirable set up!
I really do not understand why this is the case considering the pros and cons of both worlds.
A web based application does not have any installation or update overhead, is cross platform and although it might lack some advanced features of a its full blown desktop counterparts still can deliver a pretty good user experience..
As far as the connectivity to the internet I think that its benefits are pretty easy to realize in comparison to a stand alone (real time updates, intraday modifications etc)...
I would like to hear some reasoning about your preferences so I can understand further your reasoning.....
