RR as a browser plugin?

[Thomas McGrath III]

back in the day
I used the SuperCard plugin in our corporate structure to role out 
quick easy stacks to departments that just wanted to view an update on 
info to our software (GUI and other info) in a simple way from a web 
browser. All they had to do was go to the company site and check it 
out.
We found it very useful.
Asking them to download a separate file was more than they wanted to do 
and more than I was allowed to ask of a Vice President.

Also, a big difference is that downloading an app to a hard disk is 
different than downloading a temp file to a browser.
I.E. temp files can be deleted by the browser but another scheme is 
needed to delete an app from a HD.
This is important for propriatary stacks that we don't want staying on 
a users computer. (Yes, I know we can disable a stack after use etc)

Although I agree with Richard overall I also agree with Alex on this.
