Mozilla Prism - which helps provide a more desktop-like feel to web applications - is nearly ready for its debut release. Webmonkey reports that a near-complete version 1.0b3 is now available for download and that the finished product could be arriving very soon.
Why is Prism worth getting excited about?
If you're like me, some of the users you support still have a hard time grasping how to work a web browser. With Prism, I just zap a custom-created shortcut to a client's desktop and they click through to GMail or Google Docs as if it were any locally installed app. And yes, it's very similar to the "create application shortcut" option in Google Chrome.
Prism currently powers things like Zimbra and JoliCloud, and it can definitely help less savvy users feel more comfortable with web apps.
It's available as both an add-on for Firefox and as a standalone application, and you can download both versions here.
