Yup, I saw that syndicated article too... there's certainly an art to
press placement. ;-)
That 300 figure is old... in the Macromedia Executive Presentation
this week, Stephen Elop noted that the number of separate Flex licensees
moved up to 400 last quarter, an increase of 30% over the last three
months... that's pretty astounding.
Atop that, many of the earlier licensees have expanded their licenses
this quarter -- their pilot projects were so successful that they bought
more seats for more workgroups. For me, that tested buy-in is
significant validation.
For Laszlo, congrats to them on getting the news article... it's good to
explore different XML abstractions of user experience. It's hard to
estimate seats or pricing head-to-head, but I note about a 50:1
difference in mailing list messages in the two tools' main lists this month:
