--------------------------------------

We'd probably go with node-webkit at this point for OS X, Windows and Linux support

> Use Google's "Chrome Frame" plugin as a way to get support for pre-IE9 based windows systems. Although Chrome Frame won't work out of the box with embedded webviews according to Frame's FAQ, it is open-source and under a BSD-style license.
> Chrome Frame feels like it would be a rather clever way to get win32 support for setups that don't have IE9 or greater (or for web developers that don't want to rely on the trident rendering engine at all and instead develop against the latest webkit/v8 setup).
> Of course keeping app distributables small is also important since we wouldn't want to distribute a 30MB+ dependency with each app. To solve this, the integration could be designed such that the Chrome Frame framework is downloaded and installed silently in the background and only when needed/requested by the app developer.
> Using Chrome Frame also has the benefit of being distributed and maintained by Google so its in good hands.
