A desktop app is different in the sense that it takes more commitment and therefore has to be filling a real need. I would download Firefox, Skype, Textpad, Winamp, because these things make my like considerably easier. The thoughts that go through my mind before I download and install something is how much space will it take, how much will I use it. What are the advantages of having that app on my comp? So there's a thought process where I weigh up how much I need that thing.
Now consider Joost. When I had to download it the first time, I deferred the decision for a very long time. A couple of months if I remember correctly. I kept reading comments people made about it, trying to figure out if I'd ever use it, and if I did, how much I would. It was a big download as well, and I think it used a lot of space. I downloaded it, and didn't like it. Got rid of it. I then downloaded it again and kept it just so I could send invitations to other people, but I never had anything good to say about it.
I'm almost just as cautious about downloading desktop tools of web apps. For example, I still haven't downloaded any Flickr tool because it's still not evident how it'll add value to my life.
Desktop apps have to be waaaay more compelling than web apps because they require such a 'commitment'.
