The (not so) hidden goals of Prism, AIR and Silverlight
,----[ Quote ]
| I have found in this comment to the Microsoft post something very similar to
| my thinking:
|
| MS says "Write a web application using Silverlight and you can get desktop
| integration". Adobe says "Write a web application using AIR and you can get
| desktop integration". Mozilla says "write a website *without* doing anything
| special, and *we* will take care of desktop integration".

Mozilla seems to be the least harmful. It's a binary Web under the disguise
of "openness" (for business).
