Hi all, I mentioned before that I had asked our marketing folks to come up with a response to your questions from last week. It took a little while but I think they have provided more info than you could possibly imagine. It was so much that we decided to put it on the blog.

I mentioned this @ the Silicon Valley Flex User Group meeting the other day but I wanted to reiterate it here and see if I could invoke a response from Adobe. Mr. Mendels? Where is the marketing for Flex? Why keep the most beautiful framework in the world for creating applications a secret?

I think Clint ment non-technical marketing - venues for non-programmers - more likes of Wall Street Journal or ZDNet. Other thing would be mastering industry support - given capabilities and future plans announcements from Linux / Applinace vendors and ISVs would be very helpful. Also,
