Well, Flex is a nice product, with some nice features and an awesome library of components. Although, I have some things that don't like and I'll mention them below.
Flex was surprisingly very well accepted in the financial world...and people with deep pockets paid 12k/2xcpu without hesitation... that made MM think about reconsidering their price policy and consider Flex as a true "enterprise" solution, when in fact the product is quite limited in some regards and some bugs are really annoying - no offence, and apologize if I hurt somebody... Now, with this merger on the horizon it's very unlikely that Adobe will shutdown this product but might raise a red flag for people that already bought this product or intended to buy... This can be fatal for Flex growth... and let's face it are many great products on the market that couldn't sustain themselves without a good marketing strategy... look no further than Sun applications... In conclusion, Flex market might cool off a bit.... in the same time the projects developed in the last 6 months will be released in production... Depending on the success of those projects Flex might be or not around.... So don't be concern that Adobe will shutdown a successful product... Flex will die on his hand if the product will not became a serious player in the UI area... in regard with "enterprise" scale of Flex is still arguable and not consider it a true enterprise product, but maybe are different flavors of "enterprise" these days... Although, "Flex is enterprise solution, AS2 is OO" sounds nice when sell this product... :) Best regards, Michael I'll look forward seeing this product one year from now and the evolution of it... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
