Joel's answer is the web because HTML/browser represents a very stable platform.
This article makes me wonder. I am have huge numbers of my clients being infected with terrible spyware. So bad, I can't clear them up. Adaware plus Spybot plus TrendMicro Housecall used to do the trick. Now, they don't even make a dent. We are exclusively a webbased application with an enormously complex user interface. (more than 800k in Javascript for a single page). Is Microsoft purposely marginalizing the "safeness" of the web browser?
