Yup, but the announcement itself is appearing to be reactive and while you want to argue with me because we seem to be getting quite close these days Mike (heh) i said it "could be" argued as being reactive. I personally, couldn't care as while I'm sure it's all well thought-out and there is a strategy of some mystic kind around this decision and no doubt you will play that card until the PR points run out, the way I see it is you released the compiler yesterday and asked the developers world wide to do more withe *actual framework* with you instead of waiting for you.. Entry into FLEX hasn't changed and i'm still paying for the tools and no doubt the server-side pieces are going to cost me a bit. If you're all for OS, why not go the whole hog, Flex Builder 2.0.1 logged in or better yet, look at ways to combine Flex Builder 2.0.1 and CFEclipse so that folks on this list can do some basic Remoting similiar to the way Visual Studio Strong typed Datasets work. But getting you to comment on something as "meaty" as that these days is fairly limited unless a camera is in the room. It's blunt but anyway.. > We have been working on this internally for over a year, and it is > really the natural evolution for Flex (i.e. the source is already > available). Just like FLEX 1.0 to 2.0 SDk came naturally right? :) heh > Of course, you are a Microsoft evangelist (although your sig and email > don't mention it), so I understand your desire to spread the impression > that this all happened in the last couple of weeks in response to > Silverlight. Oh quit crying about the same attempt to discredit anything I say by associating as being Microsoft propaganda. You look like an idiot as everyone on this entire list knows I'm Microsoft and while you think you're gaining points, you're coming off as being political. Again, what is it you do for Adobe?
