"Will not install"
Version: Adobe AIR 3.4
Pros
I don't know
Cons
Copy of error report answer:
Double click on AdobeAIR.dmg, then on Adobe AIR installer.app; window comes up, entitled Adobe AIR Setup; click on update as per instructions; text disappears, window remains--"forever" until closed; then "Adobe AIR Installer quit unexpectedly." NO, I expected it to quit when I closed the window....
And I did click on "Reopen" which simply repeated the process with the error report coming up when I closed the window. Had to click on cancel to get it to go away.Summary
Will not install on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

I am running Snow Leopard that has all the updates. The installer just sits in the dock and does nothing.

"May break evil silverlight plans"
Version: Adobe AIR 1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is our only hope against MS SilverLight monster which only exists as a plugin (viewer) for OS X.
Or, we will be punished in first opportunity for using OS X.
For anyone dares to claim Silverlight is platform neutral just because there is a viewer plugin, I would ask about XCode plugin and nothing else.
I don't like writing "Anti M$" type of comments but the reality is very clear speaking from OS X persfective.
Every tool you need to produce a top class Adobe Air application can be downloaded freely/purchased/trialed from versiontracker.com OS X edition. That is what matters for my platform of choice.
Lets hope Adobe keeps up the good work for Air.
If this comment sounds paranoid to you, I would ask where is Windows Media Player OS X Universal Leopard edition. Quicktime is a great, advanced technology but a half hack "component" can't do what actual player can do. That is the trick MS prepares for Silverlight.
Tip to Adobe: Use every single acceleration step possible even including Altivec/Quartz2d.
