    So many people are saying why use this when it's just a stripped down browser, well thats the point, it's not meant for the home user.
    This would be perfect (as already stated) for corporate intranet sites, where they don't wish the user to access anything else but the corporate internal site.

    I've been using it with gmail, and since it shows as a mail app, it can be integrated into the 'send to' and listed as the default mail app.

    overall nice, but still a concept that needs work.

    Yes, but it's just as easy (actually, probably easier) to run a standard browser configured not to show any toolbars, etc.

    not really, because then you open yourself up to security risks that are not even present if you're using prism. its more of a CYOA thing

    I don't quite understand this. Just because you have a browser set up not to display its GUI, doesn't mean you have to turn off any 'security features'...

    fact - 60+% of most corporate intrusions are inside jobs

    by just turning the GUI off, a savvy employee or one who's been told what to do can re-enable it and cause problems, prism has nothing to re-enable
