The boys and girls of the Mozilla project have taken the wraps off the beta for Prism 1.0. Prism is a technology which blurs the boundaries between the web and the desktop, allowing you to approach web sites as if they were ordinary desktop applications. Prism is cross-platform, and runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

Well essentially, it bears absolutely no relation to them! :p
It's a couple of things. It's a tool for creating a link that will launch a browser for a particular site with custom settings for that site, and it's a set of APIs that allow sites to interact with the desktop a little, like minimizing to the task tray, and creating a pop-up right-click menu for minimized apps.
I'm sure there's some more to it but AFAICT that's about it.
