When we update the program it's more or less like uploading files to a webserver, so again, I'm not seeing how the deployment is any more difficult with web. No one has access to the files the programs are using to run except the team that administers the secure web pages. Therefore, it would be next to impossible for the average user to look at anything other than what's on the screen.
I mean, even with the applications that allow users to save things such as spreadsheets and word documents, the documents must be saved on the secure server (and the user ONLY has access to the folder with their userid) and then they must use a separate application to transport the files to their PC.
