No, there is tons of people putting 95+ million dollars a year in MM's pockets for Flash, and fixin' to put more for Flash Lite all collectively screaming for Flex' capabilities. There are many smaller software shops that share the same sentiments, only don't take it as personally as I do and others of my ilk do. Macromedia isn't deaf; they'll listen and most likely act.

And don't have the same high server cost. By pricing, I meant do you think with the release of Longhorn that MM might lower their license price.
