Why is wont facebook develop a window base application ?

[codrguy]

Why would they? They are in a totally different market and the whole concept of social networking is based on being web-based. plus desktop based application is old fashioned as these days "cloud" is where you want your product to be on, so your reach is virtually limitless. If we ignore the fact that it doesn't make the slightest sense for them to go desktop, just imagine the cost, time and pain they need to go through to make a facebook application that works on Windows, Apple (OSX) and unix based operating systems, whereas being on the web enables them to reach everyone with any kind of hardware they use.
