Thanks everyone for the recommendations so far! Looks like we need to check out Qt and wxWindows. BTW does anyone have any experience with Adobe Air for this? (

  It still is. In fact AIR might be the simplest choice out there, since you can develop for it with web based technologies. But it is severely restricted when it comes to accessing native desktop APIs. The default look and feel are very ...web-ish, that might or might not be what you want. One thing for sure is that the look is pretty consistent as they include a Webkit rendering engine. My biggest gripe with with AIR is that the user has to install Adobe AIR before he can install your application and you know how Adobe installations are.

  If you're just doing GUI stuff and don't need low-level access, AIR will do just fine. It's a bit bloated and slow and doesn't have native widgets at all, but for a one-time wizard it should be fine. Download TweetDeck (which is an AIR app) to get a feel for what to expect. Also, AIR is still alive and kicking. It seems like Adobe is planning for Air to outlive (in-browser) Flash.
