Awesome embeddable, deployable web browser that's free for independents... Awesomium!

Sometimes all you want to do in your app or game is display some HTML content. But you also don't want to take a dependency on Internet Explorer or other installed web browser. Being a hobby, independent, or just for fun at home, developer you don't have many resources and just wish there was a browser you could easily embedded and deploy in your app. That it would be awesome if you could easily used it in a .Net app, be it VB.net, WinForms or WPF.

I give you Awesomium!

I caught this via Chris Cavanagh's post, Awesomium – Free Indie License! where the awesome, indie and free seemed like it would make a good post.
Awesomium is the first, full-featured, windowless web-browser framework.
It is crazy fast, supports the latest stuff, and is super simple to use in your own applications .
Great for use in 3D games, .NET apps, HTML GUIs, and way more.
For In-Game Browsing:
Add a custom web-browser to your game to grant users access to forums, guides, and additional online game content without ever leaving your application.
