Hi Dave, Imho is a matter of expectation. I`m not a big user of AIR apps, but those that I tested delivered a slightly different experience than a regular webpage app. Some of the UI elements (note that AIR`s default color is black/dark grey, instead of a plain white - empty - page), the apps flow, plus their size (in bytes) makes them fill more like an installed application that turns to be connected to some web resource. Add the possibility to control hardware, local file system access, network detection and the other features and you`ll start to feel like using a desktop, but connected, app, thus, expecting a desktop behavior, while with prism, and maybe chrome (I`m a mac user, so i haven`t tested it yet) you still expects a webapp behavior.

Its not a rhetorical question, BTW. I mean from an IxD perspective isn't AIR just the same thing, except running HTML it is running Flash, which for all intent and purposes really just an web-app? -- dave _________________________________________________________________ Conheça o Windows Live Spaces, a rede de relacionamentos do Messenger! http://www.amigosdomessenger.com.br/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
