That's exactly the point I was making :) Flex is NOT cheap... significantly more expensive that CF7 Enterprise... so I can't understand why Macromedia wouldn't throw in JRun4 with Flex if they're going to throw it in for CF7 ENT. FYI, JBoss also seems to work nicely for CFMX7 and Flex 1.5 if you're looking for a "free" J2EE server to run CF and Flex. :)
