Thanks Jonas, I appreciate your thoughts. When I contacted Joe Orbman concerning WebORB, he was very helpful and eager to help .NET people utilize a service similar to FDS. Understandably, if you don't use Cold Fusion or J2EE, you're not going to get a full-blown solution from Adobe. But fortunately, there are smart people out there that are helping to open-up the Flex market to .NET backends. Thanks for sharing your experience. My view: In the sliding scale of time, there exists gurus and future gurus.
