The problem with that approach is a lot of people are behind corporate firewalls where they also do not have local admin rights and are therefore not allowed to install anything on their desktop. If they want it, they have to call the network guys and get authorization and then have them install it. That's the way my company is and we're over 5000 employees strong. Now, if that's just one company, I can safely say you're still excluding millions by going with an AIR app. This is the reason I never used the AIR feature before, but always deployed my web apps as SWFs. Even that was a problem if someone had an older version of Flashplayer and I had built the app for a newer version of FP.
