I've just started using PRISM, from mozilla, which allows me to run web applictions in their own window as if they were, ummm, PC applications.
So, what that means is that I can launch GMail, GCal and GReader from the start menu and they each run – elegantly – in their own window.
Doesn’t sound that exciting … but it really does feel different and better. I’ve only been using it for a couple of days but I am sold!
It’s still under development but it runs well. There are a few obvious improvements – more ommissions, really – which I’m sure the developers will be adding soon , but nothing life threatening.
