Other people think the recent problems stem from all the new Web 2.0 stuff we’re using. These observations reinforce my belief that Microsoft Silverlight will be the Next Big Thing and all these Web 2.0 developers will soon be building Silverlight apps. But that’s not what this post is about. [...] […] Nice to know I’m not going crazy. Other people think the recent problems stem from all the new Web 2.0 stuff we’re using.

It is not about running applications inside the browser. The runtime enables that same experience to operate outside of the browser, on the desktop. Being able to code in HTML/JS, Flex or Flash and create an app knocks down a big barrier to entry. That's a core strength of AIR. Also, mobile-specific applications will not fade away; in fact, it's the opposite. Even if more mobile devices gain a "normal" web browser, the small screen demands a wholly different approach. People use mobile devices much differently than a desktop computer. Sure, there's movies and ringtones, but most of the time, the information request is about here and now, as quickly as possible. Totally different mental model than the desktop experience. I think you’re missing the point with AIR. It is not about running applications inside the browser.
