One other thing to consider with AIR certs and the enterprise. A lot of companies are going to want to sign the apps with their own code signing certs anyway. They would rather people see their own company name there then a small development shop. You can do just that with the AIR compile tools, the consulting company can give you a AIR installer that isn’t signed then you can use your company’s code cert to sign the installer thus making it look like it comes from your IT department.
On a side note, my man Gregor Wolf sent along a very cool app called The Levelator that I used to level out all of the voices on this podcast (uploaded the new mp3 of the show this afternoon). It really works well and it’s free! Thanks Gregor!
