Flex is a good approach for these pourposes. Apollo will be a killer solution just to build those of hundred of web sites that, actually, play the role of "front end" of a complex multi-branch enterprise solution. IMHO, I don not think that people is going to allow to install one an apollo app just for the fact of visiting a web site.

While Apollo is very useful in specific circumstances, I cannot see using it for anything that can be done through a straight Flash/Flex web-based app. Where Apollo is useful is when you need further options native to the desktop environment- most web apps don't need that and honestly I can't see the 'skip intro' goons or ad agencies bothering with Apollo simply because they do most of their work in the timeline. I've been having a nice time with the alpha and do see real, valid applications for it- but recognizing what shouldn't be an Apollo install is just as important. Anyway- I hope your concern about a proliferation of junk installs does not become a reality! I have the same concern.
