doesn't Adobe's AIR do this?
simon@... 24th Apr 2008
Just the fact that Microsoft creates operating systems makes it tough sell for mesh to be cross platform. I believe Adobe's Air answers many of the fundamental problems that the browser based applications have. AIR could also be a great proxy for applications that are written in any language.

I guess it's typical of MS to try to do anything and everything. These days it is more important to have something concrete than just get excited over hype.
