BI web vs desktop

What are the differences between desktop and web version? I wonder if all functionality is the same.

    Additionally, the desktop contains a whole suite of tools to create models. 

    Desktop: Build models, create visuals

    Web: Create visuals, Sharing

Anonymous Only the desktop version allows for the creation of DAX metrics.

One issue I have found when getting started is that if I follow the tutorial (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-get-started/) using the desktop version, it doesn't work! The chart doesn't look the same, the fields aren't the same, it's all messed up!

 

Surely, this is not a good way to introduce people to Power BI!
