Adobe's project Apollo:
Apollo is the code name for a cross-operating system runtime being developed by Adobe that allows developers to leverage their existing web development skills (Flash, Flex, HTML, JavaScript, Ajax) to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to the desktop.In other words: Flash apps you can download and run on your desktop. I am surprised they didn't do this sooner. Supposed to be ready middle of next year.
