Surely the fact the price is going up
means that it is not selling well (and possibly the whole RIA scene is not as
widespread as you are led to believe). If Flex was booming the costs
would come down allowing more users to adopt and Flex to continue to thrive.
I would be interested to see how many
people actually have purchased Flex and are using it with Gusto – I bet
it is not as widespread as it’s made out to be.

price
Lucian,
"4 CPUs and Gold Support for
$29,000. That's actually cheaper
than Flex was in the past for 4 CPUs + Gold Support."
It's like going to the car dealer ship and the
guy tells me that the Lexus SUV is the only new base
model...but don't worry...that it's still cheaper than buying 2 Lexus
Sedans... lol!
"Finally, for
software vendors who want to embed Flex in their applications, we have special
pricing built around your requirements and your market. However, and this is
important, where you see value in Flex, we are interested in working with you
to design the right packaging for your needs. If you are interested in using
Flex on a real project, let us know so we can work with you and find the right
packaging/pricing to fit your needs. "
It's clear for me that MM have this price for the
big fishs... Small fishs like many of us needs to negociate with the sales
contact and see how much might cost... I'm affraid that can't beat 12k/2
CPUs... that was still considered expensive by many potential users...
I'm sure that soon the RIA - market will cool off a
bit and MM will come back with special discounts, etc.
Regards,
Valy

We wanted to make a package
that applies to many people for their first Flex
application or for several smallish Flex
applications. When things get big
or industrial strength, more than four is
required. But this should apply to
the small and medium business and be good for
those proof of concept
projects.
