$18,000 per installation given current pricing.
Flex needs a license for each computer that serves up SWFs created by Flex
(regardless of whether or not Flex is installed). Distribute the SWFs on
CD, it's $12,000 per CD.
Blackstone details have not been announced but it's a sure bet that the
WAR/EAR deployment options are going to be enterprise only and Ben did
mention during his preso that you need a Blackstone license on the deployed
machine (although it's possible that it may not be a fully license but some
special runtime license--it's even probable that this is not yet decided).
No tool is a one-size-fits-all solution. CF is a server tool. Always will
be. You want to write desktop apps, use something designed for desktops
(.NET, Java, C++, Director, or even Flash with a projector extension).
