I think Flex pricing is too high. RIA's are a new technology in the
sense of customer buy in. There isnt yet the market "must have" demand
for them.

If it was priced alongside with CFMX as a server it would be an easier sell.

You have to have a good application in mind, and until these
applications have propagated enough (i.e.. Amazon suddenly goes RIA)
clients wont be "asking" for them but us the developers offering them.


Bring down the price, make a cut down (ish) version, a non enterprise
version (whatever that would ACTUALLY mean) and let the clients get a
taste for it

Just my 0.02 Euros worth
