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.
Adobe Systems has released Adobe Media Player (AMP), a free download for playing Flash-based Web videos on Macs or PCs.
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.

Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
Adobe's Media Player is an excellent application that is beautifully designed and easy to use. Shame about the currently available content.
Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.
The newest addition to the ThinkPad X series incorporates the best of the MacBook Air, with the best of the Portege R500, while also adding its own great features, such as a built-in DVD burner, WWAN connectivity, and GPS.
