Yahoo announces BrowserPlus

http://browserplus.yahoo.com/


Well, it turns out that Yahoo was working in the past on BrowserPlus™ that allows developers to create rich web applications with desktop capabilities.

Its not a very long time since Adobe or Google announced there respective products Google Gear and Adobe Air

Yahoo plugin seems nice in the first look but I still doubt if people would want to install any 3rd party plugins on there machine. It would be a different story if these plugins are bundled with the browser installation then it will make sense to move in the direction of doing development on these.
