Scott, are you saying that the pricing is pretty much unchangeable because the amount of loss of face to customers who buy the product will feel ripped off if the price becomes more "reasonable"?

Who will take the (start at) 12,000 US$ path? Its a bloody ripoff, and it will sufficate the products potential, i'll explain my reasons later tonight (typing an uber FLEX and why) article now. As for OEM version, nothings official for 1.0 and its doubtful at this time. You can use FLEX as a developer edition, so for those of you who have adopted the V2 framework in Flash MX development and won't go down the FLEX path, i suppose consider its use for prototyping RIA' concepts. I would of preferred the pricing model to be around the CFMX Enterprise range, but Macromedia have stood by their "it will sell" assumptions and only time will tell who was right, and who wasn't. Once again, i'll post an article soon on the pro/con of FLEX is power and overall feasible use. -- Regards, Scott Barnes - http://www.mossyblog.com http://www.bestrates.com.au Darren Tracey wrote: > Actually, variable pricing is fairly standard with high priced enterprise software. > > Darren Tracey > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Gareth Edwards >>Sent: Monday, 29 March 2004 4:34 PM >>To: CFAussie Mailing List >>Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Flex has been released.
