Intranet vs Client Server

Can anyone provide a list of advantages/disadvantages of developing an Intranet System rather than a Client Server system.

Thanks

The biggest one I can think of is portability.

You have to install clients on to each machine in a client server system whereas in an intranet anyone with a browser can access it and use it...

Hi David...
1)Portabilty

U create a Client server system say in vb U need to Distribute the Setup Version of the System to All Who are Going to Use the Software..Where as intranet system There is Nothing Like that

2)Speed:

The Client server System is Faster that the HTML based Intranet System Because the File Should be Generated as per the User Request at the server..and Also It Increases the stress on the server Where U run the .ASp or .JSP..Even Client server Increases The Stress But only on the Dbserver not on the Middle Tier Systems...

3)Space:
Multiple Copies in multiple System is Required in Client server But u need Just a Single Version at the server

4)Stress on the server
The stress on the Server Will be Very High When U Use Something Like Session and Application in asp..Ie to Store User data in th server Memory ..
Where as in the CLient server...the Client 's Memory is Used Rather tha the Server's Memory...
