Though all of this would be great (rich) user experience, not without limitations. Do you want the users to be able to take any kind of information to the desktop (may be it has sensitive information) and they leave it there for an attacker to gain access and you all know the consequences ! I am just trying to look this great advancement from a different point of view, to get some more discussion going on the security aspect. Thank you Aman Andre Ludwig wrote:

Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to the desktop. What type of applications does Apollo target? While a number of more traditional desktop applications can be built and targeted at the Apollo runtime, Apollo is targeted at making it easy to develop and deploy Rich Internet Applications to the desktop. It is this use case, deploying RIAs to the desktop, which is driving the feature set for Apollo 1.0. What types of developers is Apollo targeting? Apollo is targeted at developers who are currently leveraging web technologies, such as Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript and Ajax techniques to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications. Is Apollo free (as in beer)? Yes. The Apollo runtime will be free (similar to the Flash Player and Adobe Reader). ****/SNIP**** Andre On 2/1/07, Benjamin Tomhave <list-procurare () secureconsulting net> wrote:I think Adobe's new Flex platform, based on Flash, is supposed to allow for creation of web-based apps that can then be dragged off the browser onto the desktop. http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ On Thu, February 1, 2007 10:15 am, Mark Curphey wrote:I read an article in a business magazine about software as a service.
