Thanks Om and others who posted links, it is always rewarding to me to see these end products.
So, it looks like print and photo publishers, paint manufacturers and video/video conferencing providers have chosen Flex. My next question is: why?

When I saw Nick's revamp of our site, I thought it was visually on the same level as these sites.
