I thought CF Express was great, personally.  I used it numerous times,
on everything from little one-off sites for clients who had a web
server in their office, but needed zero-cost app servers, to
kiosk-style apps on non-connected computers (just install CF right on
the machine).  At least two of those clients came back and had more
"real" CF work done, and to support them we bought additional CF Pro
licenses to run their apps.  And the rest have continued down the CF
path with us, though they can't be directly linked to more CF
purchase.

How about free CF for certain applications, like Flex is now doing?

cheers,
