I'm curious as to what more we can do to get the message across here? I was talking with Ben about this yesterday... We've said from the beginning with Flex 2 that Flex Builder 2.0 will be "under $1,000" per developer seat and that will be all you need to build (most) Flex applications. You will use Flex Builder to create SWF files that you can deploy anywhere - no server software needed (well, you'll need *some* back-end technology such as ColdFusion or Java if you want to handle persistence). If you want to use data synchronization / messaging / server-to-client "push" then you will need Flex Enterprise Services - which is a server component. The recent announcements around Flex 2.0 said that the SDK (compiler and framework) would be available free and that there would be a free version of Flex Enterprise Services (with some concurrency / connection limitations). Clearly a lot of people aren't seeing the messages so I'd be interested to hear opinions as to why this message isn't getting out there... Yes, Flex 1.5 was a full server system and was "expensive" (although if you talk to folks who actually built systems with it, they will generally tell you that the cost was very reasonable for the benefits they got from Flex). > Anyone know what the pricing is going to be?

But that still doesn't seem to be enough to get the message out. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
