Bah.. phooey.
Microsoft releases new version of SQL Server. Office users squeal that they
have been abandoned and that Microsoft have lost their focus. Or was
that... Microsoft releases ASP.NET and Exchange users squeal that they have
been abandoned and that Microsoft have lost their focus... Or was that...
Just because MM are increasing their portfolio of products does not
constitute a lack of developer focus. Has the release cycle for Studio
suddenly doubled or something??
So Flex is expensive.. its a product we all want to use today but probably
won't be able to till tomorrow. We all fall somewhere within the developer
spectrum but none of us are everywhere at once.
If Flex is successful in the enterprise space as Contribute has been in the
consumer space Macromedia would be on a winner, no?
