ByeBye CPU cycle eating, security and privacy invading user interface desaster. (As usually with Adobe software these days.)
Too bad this thing eats memory. Nice concept, though. Probably has a very lucrative future.
Very welcome complement to the redundant Java cross-platform desktop apps.
Required for ebay desktop. Installed Beta 2 ten minutes ago and it works nicely.
