Web ERP vs Desktop ERP

Does anybody find any good reason to start development of a new OS ERP basing it on the desktop?

I feel that, with the success of AJAX and RIA's in general, the desktop does not hold any advantage over a Web platform for this kind of apps anymore.

Any counter arguments?

Web application would use the server power on generating screens and running the programs. Usually it will be slower in reponse to end-user.

Desktop application would use the desktop machine to handle the screens directly and so the response of the software to end-user would make faster.

So, it would depends on the type of operation of end-user.

For example, an end-user has to complete an order with 60 items in a minute with checking their availability. You need a desktop application certainly.
