Abstract
Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to delegating application invocation back to a client. In aspects, a server hosts an application that has a user interface that is presented on a client. User interaction on the user interface is encoded and sent to the server to give to the application. When the user uses the application such that another application is to be executed, a server delegator determines whether to execute the other application on the server or the client. If the application is to be executed on the client, the server delegator instructs a component that executes on the client to execute the application on the client. Otherwise, the application is executed on the server and data representing the user interface of the application is sent to the client so that the client may present the user interface to a user.
