Just like clicking on links in any other application would. Also prism is packaged in Hardy along with some webapps. The packaged webapps install shortcuts to the desktop menu, which is a little nicer than desktop shortcuts. P.s. your categories list goes over the top of the comment textarea.

Did you do anything to make it work? @Dean: My design/layout isn't perfect - I really need to do a full re-design. I figured that links would open in my browser (and they do), I'm just so used to using tabs with Google Reader and forums it would break the "experience" for me. However it's not meant to replace your browser, and for what it's supposed to do, it works great. @Bob: I think you're getting Prism/WebRunner confused with XULRunner which was for apps like Songbird. @Flavio: Well, Flash doesn’t work here unless I copy the plugin from my Firefox folder.

Personally I prefer to right click on my desktop, and choose "Create New->Link to Location (URL)...". Strangely enough, it puts an icon on my desktop, and opens a new window for it. Astounding, eh? ;) What horrible desktop are you using, that needs such a thing?

"Separate Processes for each application." A flash crash won't bring down your Reader Tab. For that reason alone it pays off in spades to use Prism for Reader and Docs. You missed the point.
