Summary
Online applications (also known as SaaS or web apps
or webware) are getting more popular, particularly since broadband
Internet access has become more common and readily available to more
users. With online applications and services, you do not need to
download and install them into your computer for using them—you just
need to open up a browser and access them online.

Besides, you don't have to worry about different operating systems as
these applications and services are cross-platform, running in your
browser as a client. Neither do you need to keep updating your software
versions, as you will get any new software updates and bug fixes
automatically whenever you access them.
