Yes, do be careful of ajax, and of internet programming in general.
However, the usual use of a desktop app is deployment within one
company, so if you write it as a web app you can ease the security
issue by firewalling the server so that it can't be accessed through
the outside internet.  That still makes deployment a lot easier, since
there are zero desktop installations required, and you can upgrade the
software whenever you want at the server side.
