This is the point that's got me laughing now. I was leading the bitch-fest about Flex costing so freakin' much for the server... Now I'm incredibly exited that the cost is being so drastically reduced. I'm finally going to get to do some cool Flex work, Yiiiipppeeee! And now I see people complaining about that too! I'm certain you'd waste no time finding something else to complain about if they made the IDE free. I'm convinced that some of you chuckleheads would complain about a penny pitcher of beer, just because it wasn't free!
