That would appear to be as much Adobe going head to head with VMWare as rattling Microsoft and Google's Cages.

Bravo, Adobe. Just what IT Needs...... Innovative Feeds for Sowing/Nurturing/Harvesting/Enjoying ITs Natural Growth/MetaDataMining/Pharming...... .

But such is the Virtualised Platform in the CyberSpace Environment. That Intangible which is Virtually Real...... a Known Unknown.

ITs a whole NeuReal Ball Game, is it not?

Whom do you Imagine/what do you Imagine Controls IT?

To say AIR 2.0 sucks...!

Okay, I really don't get the atmosphere of this article. It's trashing a new product that although only in beta is already building a fair following.

The technology is impressive. I find the comment "trying to compete with Microsoft & Google Gears" almost comical. Wait, who's trying to catch up to who?

Just lame to see an article trashing a technology...perhaps the author was just irked by the statement of "feature complete". Clearly, they're just stupid...as they don't understand the development cycle.

The newly released beta's of AIR & Flex 3 are "feature complete betas", this is where the developer decides to stop adding new features and focus on getting all the kinks out. (Sure a few features might be dropped or added before the final version if problems arise. Hence it's still a beta. But it's predicted to remain with the released feature set.)

Sorry, this post was just lame by my standards.

- Low content

- Almost all opinion without fact

- Mere unsubstantiated criticism

Not news....not worth my time...more akin to slander than anything worth posting.

For those who have NOT checked out Adobe's recent innovation, please pause and take a look. Adobe AIR is a powerful innovation. And Adobe's not stopping! Adobe also just announced a revolutionary technology - "thermo" that let's graphic designers implement RIA technology right off their graphic designs. Not for everyone, but has a lot of potential.
