1. Web intelligence data source is strictly an universe

2. Desktop intelligence data-sources are
     a. xml data provider
     b. free hand
SQL
     c. personal data files like xl spread sheets
     d. stored procedures
     e. visual basic for application procedures
     f. universes

3.
Desktop intelligence can not access OLAP data bases such as Microsoft Analysis Services or
Hyperion EssBase as a data provider.

4. Instead web-intelligence users can access OLAP databases via universe that is mapped to the
OLAP database.

5. Suppose you want to combine personal data file like spread sheet with document based on a universe desktop intelligence can do but web-intelligence can not access personal data file.

Apart these I found differences mainly in formatting perspectives.
for ex the Ouline(Folding) functionality in DeskI cannot be achieved in Web I we needs to get it done differnly either drilling or Hyperlinking
secondly like Hiding column in WebI is not as easy as DeskI needs to get rid of alerters.
recently I found like writing subquery in Deski query pannel is very straight one in syntactically as well but in Web I one needs to add the subquery objects in the universe.
one would same report design in Deski could processed fatser than Web I.

Subqueries can be created in webi as well.


Webi is thin client whereas deski is thick client.

Webi has less number of graphs / charts wheres as Deski has more options.

Rest of the difference are already covered by other members.
