Adobe this week took the Linux version of its Adobe Integrated Runtime product out of beta, bringing it up to speed with the versions available for Windows and Mac users.
Miguel de Icaza, who heads up the open source Mono project, has provided an update on a project to create Silverlight applications that run out of the browser, moving a small step toward what Adobe Systems offers with AIR.
On Monday, Adobe released the long-awaited AIR download for running Web applications offline, but Microsoft is readying an update to its Silverlight platform that it hopes will keep Web developers in its camp.
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.
Adobe has released an alpha version of AIR on Linux and announced that it is joining the Linux Foundation.
Firefox is still king when it comes to daily work on the tubes, despite the steady increase in the buzz surrounding the open-source Webkit project, on which Safari and Google Chrome are based.
I caved in. I had all intentions of pre-emptively spending my $900 government handout on a $700 HP netbook this weekend. But I was pwned by a shiny little MacBook in about the time it took white hat Charlie Miller to hack its upscale brother, the MacBook Air.
Adobe's attempt to bring its AIR platform to all handheld devices smells strongly of Sun's attempt to dominate the smartphone market with Java. But will the software giant's efforts suffer the same fate?
Much of the future success of Adobe Systems hinges on the work done by its Platform Business Unit, which is headed by Kevin Lynch, the company's chief software architect.
Best known for apps like Photoshop, Adobe is relying on Kevin Lynch to break out of the shrink-wrapped software business.

It lacks some basic features you may require touch pad, optical drive but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen.
HP's upscale Envy 13 looks and feels like an expensive status symbol, with performance and features that impress us but its high price makes it a tough sell over the similar-looking MacBook Pro.
Despite its strong performance, the tacky design and inflated price leaves the Toshiba Tecra R10 behind the competition.
