I'm an enterprise guy leading a small IT shop for a pharmaceutical (I am however not a coder). We have been dabbling in AJAX-style apps but find that standards aren't great and integration can be a little painful. Plus there are limitations. I've been looking for that bridge between web and desktop for some time - fat is not generally the way to go - too much infrastructure code for little benefit + deployment issues + we want to build point solutions not monster software. This looks like it might be the ticket. I expect it to work well on 'thin' platforms like...well, like the iPod Touch (once an SDK appears). Like to see this integrate with SAP. I can think of a couple of great apps right off the bat. Ryan,

So let's say I have a folder on my desktop called "Air Apps" with my 50 different icons. I need to open this folder, and then find the icon for the app. I want to launch? What if I have 1000 sites with AIR versions? Why not have a single AIR application that can open AIR sites. This single AIR application could have multiple instances of it open ... Maybe I'm confused? So if 50 of my favorite websites create an AIR version of their site then after downloading and installing it, I have an icon for each individual AIR Application.
