Well, you don't have to buy anything from Adobe to produce and deploy Flex based apps, since the SDK is free of charge... but i think Adobe plans to make some money off that product ;)
Good point. When Ben Forta was at my local user group giving a Flex 2 presentation, I pointedly asked him how Adobe planned to make money off of Flex when their IDE wasn't required to build it, and the SDK compiler could be obtained for free. His basic answer was that they believed they had built the best mouse-trap for the job and the majority of people would fork over the money for their nicely packaged IDE because it is (in their opinion) the easiest and best app to use when building Flex 2. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:249217 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
