When somebody creates a small application unless she releases it to the public to use it will not become known and will not contribute to the toppling of Applications as we know them. After the creation is release to the public it has to be maintained, so unless the author has a lot of time on her hands it will die eventually. The alternative is to go Open Source. I am all for Open Source, but unfortunately not all people share this view on development. There are a lot of very good Open Source software that is used by a small number of people. This is due to lack of advertisements and the wide range of choice when somebody does decide to try Ope Source apps. In short the trend is there, it's just in the embrional stage.

Combined with the concepts of virtual appliances, we can address many of the issues of scaling, deployment, data protection, and portability associated with SaaS and monolithic application deployment.
