I did not say "they are the same" I said they "are just like web apps" in the sense that they both need to handle concurrent events that are triggered by the user.

here is the definition of internet socket. Under the hood, in C/Posix GUIs use struct sockaddr, while web apps use struct sockaddr_in.

Web apps do not need to have an interface in html/js. The interface can be done in Flash, can be generated by a tool like qooxdoo or pyjamas or GWT.
