Flex is going to replace CF in the same way that carbon-fiber car bodies 
are going to replace engines. Both have to do with cars, but the 
statement doesn't make any sense, right? CF is a server-side scripting 
language and Flex is a new toy for building front ends / GUI's. In order 
to use Flex, you're still going to need to use ASP, PHP, CF, Java... to 
do the work on the server when the user interacts with the Flex 
front-end. You've got to have an engine to move that sweet carbon-fiber 
body down the road.
