CHRIS_S  I guess when you have no clue what the software does, nor have taken the time to try it out to remotely have anything of substance to add toward commenting about the body of the article, it's a popular hobby here to become an icon reviewer.

Thankfully, some people actually base their opinions about software products on what the software does on not on the visual appearance of the icon that invokes it.

Personally I find AIR to be rather useful software and I highly suggest anyone interested to at least try the product and not pay much attention to the comments about it's icon (something I also find to be quite appealing BTW) which have nothing to do with what AIR provides developers :)
