Mozilla Prism - Web Services As Desktop Applications

Mozilla labs recently introduced Prism a standalone software which can convert web services to desktop applications . Although it seems to look cool at the beginning i dont see that much use as of now with mozilla prism . Here's a small review on mozilla prism :

When i first heard about mozilla prism i was really excited to try it out because it seemed to be something really different and possibily really useful . But when i started using it , i really didnt think it was all that great . What mozilla prism really does is opens a webpage in a separate window . Yes , Thats about it . Its like you bookmark or create a shortcut of a website on your desktop and you double click on it and it opens that webpage . Only difference is that the buttons, search box , address bar , other toolbars are not present . You just have the window showing up . Something like the screenshot shown below of gmail.com




Well , there are some advantages of using mozilla prism , its not useless , although its pretty tough to find a use for it :). Firstly , mozilla prism launches each window (like the screenshot i showed you earlier ) as a separate application , so even if some other website crashes , it wont affect this window , as this window starts as a different process giving you that "desktop application" effect :).Secondly i feel it would be a lot more quicker as i mentioned earlier there is no addons or anything which launches , just a plain window.
So as mentioned earlier the "shortcut to desktop" thing can be done with mozilla firefox as well. So the only difference is that it would be light without any addons and address bars etc . So unless you find firefox crashing on you always , i really dont know what this can be used for!!

Here are a few screenshots on how i installed it :
