Just to clarify, we have not removed support for AMF from the player.
You can still write code in ActionScript 3 that connects to existing
Flash Remoting servers.
The Flex Framework currently supports using a newer version of AMF in
the player. Currently, the only servers that support this are ColdFusion
(via an alpha adapter) and Flex Enterprise Services (which is not in
public alpha yet). As far as when third party remoting services support
this, you will need to talk to those project's leaders.

I think that you are right that you need *a* server, but not *the* server.
Today you can use SOAP or standard HTTP to access server data.
Unfortunately they do not seem to be supporting the existing
AMF/Remoting standard which was up until now, the most popular way for
flash to access heavy duty server based services. Now to do that kind
of stuff, you will need to use the Flex Enterprise Services server.
Orphaning their existing technology is, I do believe, an unfortunate decision.

This brings up an interesting point. Exactly when is the server beneficial
to have? Seems to me that if the point of Flex is to create "applications,"
which by their very nature tend to be rather data-centric products, then
wouldn't the server be required to do anything of substance? What, really,
does the server add to the mix? And what can Flex accomplish on its own
without the server?
Thanks,
Kevin
