Feb 20, 2010 at 5:29 comment added quack quixote @ceejayoz: not saying it does make a diff, that's just the policy. in fact this is one area i disagree with the policy, but if the policy is set i'll try to help keep it consistent. re: Excel via Citrix, no, not closed (even if you're running it on a remote machine it's still a "local application" in this context), though it could be eligible for migration or closed-as-duplicate.
Feb 20, 2010 at 4:41 comment added ceejayoz @~quack Why does running locally make a difference from the user perspective? If I'm running Excel on a Citrix session, does my question get closed?
Feb 20, 2010 at 3:24 comment added quack quixote @Diago - to be fair i don't think i've noticed any distinction between Google Apps and the rest of Google (Gmail, Google Wave, etc). we may not have had a question that would count in this way. but if we close Wolfram Alpha q's because WA's a web app, i don't see why we shouldn't close Google Apps q's, for the same reasons: it may do the same as MS Excel, but it's via web app, so it's not running locally.
Feb 19, 2010 at 23:10 comment added Diago To be fair I am not aware of us having closed any questions on Google Apps like the spreadsheet app, however I may be wrong. If Facebook had a desktop client like Twitter does the client will be supported as it runs locally. I do recall a question on Facebook chat support in a client but can't recall if had been closed or not.
