Installing Air is relatively straight forward; all one must due is download the executable and run it; I did not have any dependency problems and the installation ran seamlessly. I then used the Adobe Air Showcase to download an application to test my installation. I had to sign up to become a member of the Adobe community (which was free) to download any of the showcase applications. I decided to try FinetuneDesktop as my first Air application, so I downloaded the .air file to my desktop and ran the application. The install ran successfully and placed an icon on my desktop.
The application is extremely light weight, accounting for no more than 8% of my processing power when idle, and taking only 66mb of memory usage. The primary framework of the application appears to be Adobe Flash, and Flex. I will continue to test additional applications utilizing different frameworks as backends.

Blog looks good. Be sure to add me using my gmail address as one of the authors. That will get it on my dashboard.
I'll get AIR execution on my computers based on your link. (I may already have them, I don't remember).
The next step is to look into what tools are available for building AIR applications and which are best. If it can be done with Adobe CS3, I have those we can load.
