Apps as business systems?

with the App store from Apple for desktops etc. And Jolicloud as an OS using apps could it be the beginning of the end for huge administrative business systems? As we move more and more to using the web for our computing needs; word processing, data, email, collaboration, media will we shift from over engineered proprietary software which require lots of computing power, frequent cumbersome updates, whole new versions, requiring teams of people to rebuild systems and roll out updates or can lightweight nimble web apps provide much of our IT needs?
I'm certain that for most users this is entirely a possible, desirable and likely solution.
