As you know, i've been FLEX banner waving since i got my grubby hands on it, so believe me when i say, IT HURTS to see it being shot down.

I have high hopes that eventually Macromedia will see the light and reduce the price! There has been talk of a single CPU licencse as a bid to lower FLEX into the medium to large corporation level, but seriously most servers come min with a DUAL CPU, and FLEX isn't exactly light with the memory.

If you do decide to go the 12k price tag, but fear the cpu load, i guess there is an alternative technique available, in that use FLEX to generate the SWFS once a day, and basically shift that swf onto your main webserver.

From memory there is the ability to set timeouts on the swf aswell, this is in the uber version though (developer versions won't be able to be served without FLEX server itself doing it, otherwise it just halts).

What would be everyones IDEAL price range? in that what would be the max you would be prepared to pay for such a thexthy piece of J2EE luv. Personally, we thought the same price model as CFMX Enterprise would be nice, and also had expectations that FCS was thrown in aswell.

Flex...pity it doesn't have flexable pricing.

We have been waiting for Flex to come out to start using its concepts on
some Applications which will replace win32 applications. I showed my
manager the pricing module of Flex and she laughed and walked away. We are
a large company but even large companies have a limit. I'm guessing we
won't be buying Flex nor programming in it.

Pitty it looked like a good concept!
