I think the future is Rich Thin Client deployment. Cross device, multi tenanted, inherently secure and easy to manage whilst delivering a beyond the browser Desktop UX On-Demand.

Or rather a non-web application? While trying to find some space for non-web apps, it occurred to me that though web apps have been all over the place, they are yet to find user-base when it comes to enterprise applications. Like, Google Maps is a cool app and it has a huge user-base but, at the same time, will Google Docs be able to match up to the user-base that MS-Office or for that matter Star-Office enjoys? I doubt. Is it that web apps are for consumer and non-web for enterprise? Well - there will surely be enterprise apps that will move over to the web sooner or later, but at this point of time, I find it hard to visualize web apps taking over non-web ones, at least in case of enterprise apps.
