AIR 2 app vs Silverlight 4 out-of-browser app?

Anyone released any Silverlight 4.0 out-of-browser app yet? does it compare to AIR 2.0?

Question about Silverlight 4, it has some webview-like control where I can write HTML+CSS right? What rendering engine does it use? What ver of CSS does it support? IE? IE7?

Planning to learn either Adobe AIR or Silverlight, but have not decided on which.

Just read the MSDN's Hilo: Developing C++ Applications for Windows 7 and I just can't imagine myself writing any native Windows app. The language, framework and libraries are too complex and pathetic.

Comment?

+2  A: 

Seesmic Desktop 2.0 is a good example of a Silverlight 4 application that runs out of browser.

See http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2010/09/14/seesmic-releases-seesmic-desktop-2.aspx
