Now comes the announcement of a new product from Adobe Systems that intrigues me--as much for what it suggests about Adobe's ambitions as for what it might presage about the future.

AIR, or Adobe Integrated Runtime, is a download that lets Web applications run on a desktop. With AIR applications, people can work offline and drag and drop items like graphics or text between Web and desktop applications.

I appreciate what Adobe is doing, they are innovative and pretty much the defacto standard for many well known applications.

Let's do hope they give Microsoft a run for their money
