Yah it is happy
Apollo is a browser... eg:

Short for Web Browser, a software application used to locate and display Web pages. The two most popular browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Both of these are graphical browsers, which means that they can display graphics as well as text. In addition, most modern browsers can present multimedia information, including sound and video, though they require plug-ins for some formats. ...

There is more.. "define: browser".

The point at the moment is that people are looking to use Apollo as a browser, its an extension of the browser as we know it today as its now breaching the 'connected' worled from the 'disconnected' world - its still a browser.

The question is now, how is Adobe going to reposition this with the beta and more importantly if its been used in a browser approach to life what is the danger developers have with doing that.

I think the debate on is it a browser or isn't it, isn't a fight that can be won. Developers will decide that one an nothing Adobe or other entities can do to stop that (short of locking it down).

I mean look at SAP, classic showcase and what are they doing with it? providing a SOE wrapper for their web-based platforms :P
