Apollo Program: Does Adobe Expect to Sky Rocket to the Moon?

Adobe just released its Apollo program, a nickname for its new cross-operating system runtime.
Behind the name, the software relies on web technologies (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax), and will allow development of interactive websites as well as cross-platform applications.
One can download for free the alpha version of Apollo which is currently working on Windows and Macintosh, from the following website: http://www.adobe.com/go/apollo.
If you test Apollo, please drop us your comments in the dedicated topic.of our forum.
This release comes couple of weeks after the announcement by Adobe of its wish to develop a free online Photoshop-like application. So one could imagine that the GUI of the CS4 will be developed via Apollo, giving the freedom for users to use either the slower and incomplete online applications server, or the fast and complete rendering engine installed locally on their computer.
