"Mozilla's greatest success to date has come from its online efforts with the Firefox web browser. Since at least October of last year they've been working on the Mozilla Prism effort to bring the online experience to the desktop. That effort is taking a major step forward today. Instead of struggling with Mozilla Prism to create a standalone desktop version of a Web app, there is now a point and click browser plugin to do the magic."

The Mac users amongst us who are interested in doing this kind of thing should take a look at Fluid, which creates standalone WebKit-based applications given a URL.
Given that Prism supports XUL, though, I guess there's the potential for sites to have richer (and more “native”) UIs when running as a standalone application.
