web based platform and a software platform

Quote from ys7799:

Can someone explain me what is the different between web based platform and software platform

Most software based platforms will not use "http" and thus not require page refreshes and other slow downs associated with a web interface.

Also, in some cases, a web interface is not necessarily a direct connection to the market i.e. exchanges and ECNs. Most brokers actually do provide a "direct connection" through their web interface so it is just a slower connection than their software based interface.
