Hi, after giving a cursory look at XUL here are some of the things AIR does that XUL doesn't: * Built in support for Flex/Flash (Layout/Logic + Fancy Animation/Video) Of course you can use any Firefox Plugin - including the flash Player, Quicktime, Adobe Reader, etc. IIRC there is even

Well, then it sounds like a great platform to develop on. As I said, I only have experience working with Adobe AIR, which I really like. Perhaps now I'll take a look at XUL/Gecko. - jake On 9/28/07, Christof Donat [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, after giving a cursory look at XUL here are
