Williams on AIR
Williams on AIR: Reading Techmeme can be a little strange (uh, JavaFX!?), but Hank Williams has a handle on the technologies. I may not agree with Hank's conclusion (I think we need Windows, and don't need to replace it so much as reach beyond it), but he's got some of the best writing I've read this morning about possible ramifications of the launch. "If you are writing with Flex and AIR or HTML/Javascript and AIR you are not writing to Windows, or for that matter Mac OS X. The strategic import of this cannot be understated." AIR is an abstraction layer for applications, atop varied operating systems, and (eventually) varied device form-factors.
