Scott, Given your connections the MS Network and to prove your independence on this matter would it not make sense to do a joint show and tell and to get some MS development companies along and we show them what Flex and CF can do for them whilst you show the .Net stuff? presumably if there is real value in a .Net / CF partnership then it would also add value to them.
Whilst some CF guys are very much in one camp it would be fair to say I have meet a great many of MS developers who strongly believe it's the only technology out there and maybe it would be good to open their eyes to the possibilities and benefits of the Adobe product set? As you say, it wouldn't be a sales pitch but a show and tell that doesn't map technologies. It would be really interesting to see hear what your team thinks of this idea.
