Does Google Chrome Web Apps Mean the death of SAAS companies like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zoho..what u think?

Google is coming out with an app store that will basically mean that businesses wont need to be on services like Salesforce, because Developers will develop and sell those same services for a low price and somethimes free... and the next thing is that they will develop all sorts of applications like Photo editing so we wont need Aviary, uhm etc...



so whats your thoughts on this..?Does Google Chrome Web Apps Mean the death of SAAS companies like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zoho..what u think?
Not everyone will use it

Only a % of people might use itDoes Google Chrome Web Apps Mean the death of SAAS companies like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zoho..what u think?
Businesses are slow moving trains. They don't generally discard something that they have invested a lot of money and, and perceive to be working for them (e.g. Salesforce.com) just to jump on the latest "bandwagon". It may, eventually, over the next decade, mean the death to these companies, if they can't adopt. But it won't happen over the short term.



Just to give you an example of how slowly businesses can move: My job is to provide cutting edge (as best we can) web sites for paying clients. (Paying means we shouldn't have to cater to ever weird user in the world...we can set some lower bars). We have 2 very large (large as in publicly traded company worth millions to billions of dollars) who still use IE6. The users have NO choice in this. IT installs and controls what browser is installed, and IE6 is the only browser they approve of. Who uses IE6 anymore? The same people that will still be using Salesforce 10 years from now...that's who.
