# Poll: Do you prefer desktop or browser apps?

Given that our post on [Webified Desktop Apps vs Browser-based Apps](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812083820/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/webified_desktop_apps_vs_browser_apps.php) has generated so much discussion, we thought we’d ask you directly which one you prefer? Although almost everybody uses *both* types of apps, most people seem to have a preference for using one or the other. Tell us what you think, by clicking one of the options below and then the ‘Vote’ button.

Many thanks to [Infacta](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812083820/http://www.infacta.com/) for the use of their upcoming product (currently in private beta) [Poll Daddy](https://web.archive.org/web/20110812083820/http://polldaddy.com/). I’m basically testing it out here for the first time publicly!
