I think this is ridiculous. I don't forsee MM adjusting the price back up. They started the price at $15,000 originally and adjusted down to $12,0000.
I would seriously doubt it goes back up. The pressure is from the top, not the bottom. And it is a great product, getting solid demand right now. I am sure, just like ColdFusion, the Dallas market is not pushing a serious portion of the demand, but I can tell you that in the NE the product is selling. Look at the stock price over the last 3 months. It is intended for serious, enterprise level, OO projects. Little man will be left out for now anyway. Flash MX 2004 is still the tool for the little fish in the pond including me.

Damn, Flex is looking more and more like Spectra every day! If this is true, I think it will be a HUGE failure. I think that the vast majority of people out there, even the ones who have managed to sell it in their organizations, feel that Flex is already priced incorrectly by about 5-8 thousand bucks in the other direction. You guys have already heard me complaining about this issue and I'm really considering just moving all of my future development over to .NET (I'm already using Laszlo instead of Flex). I just hate what Macromedia is doing lately and I'm not sure how much longer I want to be one of their customers. As a side-note, why do *almost* all bloggers seem completely to fail at understanding the difference between the words "then" and "than"? Is that as annoying to anyone else as it is to me? --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Woodward Sent: Saturday, March 26, 2005 8:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Flex Price Increase? Given the recent discussion on the list about Flex I thought some of you might find this interesting: http://www.mossyblog.com/archives/429.cfm I for one will be pretty disheartened if this proves to be true. I worked pretty hard to sell Flex inside my company, and for us $12K was worth it for what the product offers. If it's suddenly going to be 2.5 times that, there's no way it will survive at my company and I'm sure many other companies will be in the same boat. Anyway, just thought I'd pass this along as a "heads up" in the event you were considering Flex. Wait until next month and see what happens to the price.
