AIR is not platform specific, but does AOL know this
October 1, 2007
After deciding to install some new AIR apps and get an idea of whats being developed I headed over to AOL where they are featuring a top 100 video application.
In the process of downloading it I went it to the help and noticed a link to download AIR, however what happened next surprised me.. the site is hardwired to the Windows installer eventhough I am clearly on a Mac.
If AIR is platform independent what exactly do they gain by pointing directly to an install file, not to mention the horror if Adobe changes the name.. I prefer to link to the download page and let the user choose or another option is to use the install badge.
