Yes, that's correct.

Exactly. With a desktop app, such as VFP or Dabo, most of the
processing happens on the local machine, and only data requests go to the
server. With a web app, most of the processing happens on the server, and only
the UI display happens on the local machine. If you have 1,000 users and want
to update your application, you will need to send it to 1,000 different
desktops and perform 1,000 upgrades. With a web app, you update the app on the
webserver, and you're done.
