It is pretty much the same concept. Also very similar to Java WebStart. It will support secure connections which is the only thing that keeps me from developing web connected applications in Revolution right now. I remember Kevin mentioning that this would come out after 2.0 was released though.

One benefit for a lot of people will be that Central handles trial periods and purchasing of applications which I think will be a nice feature. Anything to save time and save you some hassle.

Trevor,

Is this much different in theory than a Rev standalone the communicates
over internet protocols to a backend database? I know it's Flash and not
Rev, but is it basically the same?

I will take a stab at this since I am sitting in the Keynote at the FlashForward conference where Macromedia just did a presentation of it. Some interesting things from the keynote:

1) Macromedia Central will allow developers to create flash based
desktop applications on Mac and Windows.  This will far
surpass what is
currently available from the Flash player.
2) Macromedia Central allows you to have your web connected apps
running like a desktop application but now a user can save data while
they are offline and then synch up with a server once they connect to
the internet again.
3) A developer can now make flash apps that people can purchase and
Central handles the trial period as well as the purchasing of the
program.  This opens up a new market for Flash application developers.

There are definitely other things but this is what stood out to me
during the Central presentation.  It looks like a really interesting
product.

I'm a little confused about what it is, because I thought there was
already a standalone flash player that doesn't require a browser
plugin.
