It bothers me when a company that sells development software has to sell a "developer" kit. If a company sold an application, like Microsoft Word or Quicken, then an SDK makes sense - exposing the API, etc. But, when the core software is a development product, a developer's kit just seems like another way to gouge more $$$ from their customer base.
This isn't directed solely at MM. It's also Microsoft and anyone else who does this.. -----Original Message----- From: Benoit Hediard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 12:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Interesting: Macromedia Resource Kit Indeed, this is an interesting DRK. But, one question comes to my mind : do we have to pay now to get the latest Macromedia Flash UI or Datagrid Components? Or does MM plan to release them as a free download? Thanks.
