Greetings,
I think the problem is that some people do not understand the difference
between a desktop application and a web-based application. The key
difference being where is the processing done, and where does the visual
output show up.
A desktop application running under Windows, means the program needs to be
written specifically to run on Windows, because the processing and display
are on that specific desktop computer. Windows is doing the processing, and
Windows is doing the displaying.
A web application is different. The processing is done elsewhere. To install
Koha, you are actually installing the thing that does the processing, not
what does the displaying, because any* browser on any** computer can view
and use Koha.
* there are limitations, but not because of Koha, but rather because some
browsers are really awful.
** there are limitations, because to access you actually have to be able to
network the server where you installed Koha to the client's computer where
the browser is calling from.
Just in case this was the conversation that needed to occur. :)
GPML,
Mark Tompsett
