Yes, there is an urgent need for a credible, free competitor to AIR. AIR has the potential to
become one of the standard ways applications are delivered, and we should try hard to prevent
that from happening.

The competitor could be a compatible replacement or a completely new system, but a completely
new system would be preferable because it wouldn't allow Adobe to control an important
standard.
