[OT] Flash wants standalones

[Trevor DeVore]

It is pretty much the same concept.  Also very similar to Java 
WebStart.  It will support secure connections which is the only thing 
that keeps me from developing web connected applications in Revolution 
right now.  I remember Kevin mentioning that this would come out after 
2.0 was released though.

One benefit for a lot of people will be that Central handles trial 
periods and purchasing of applications which I think will be a nice 
feature.  Anything to save time and save you some hassle.
