I love Flex so much, I have actually been skeptical about Adobe AIR. Over the last year, I have had a hard time understanding why moving applications from the Web to the Desktop mattered (it just didn’t seem that interesting).
Then I had the chance to attend the Adobe Engage event two weeks ago,
where they launched Adobe AIR with its 1.0 release. With the launch, they demonstrated a number of applications built using the AIR platform.
