title: Standalone vs. Desktop application
body: <p>It may sound silly enough to ask but even after googling a lot I couldn't get any clear idea about it.</p>
  
  <p><strong>What is difference between a standalone application and a desktop application?</strong></p>
  
  <p>Some where I read that the application without GUI running in local context is called standalone application while a standalone application with GUI is called desktop application. But I am not convinced with it.</p>
  
  <p>Your help will be appreciated.</p>
