I have to agree with Scott with MM's foothold this early in the game they're pretty much assured dominance in the RIA marketplace M$ or not. MSN search still pale's when compared to Google, and the XBox has to be sold at a loss to compete with the PS2.  When it comes to catch-up I think M$ should leave that to Heinz. (Oh i can hear the groans already on the last one) Laszlo is hot but Flex is more intuitive and lets face it... MM writes the player. They build the sandbox flex plays in. When you look at the number of small to medium sized business that can not or will not adopt flex because of the price tag though I'm left with only one question.  What kind of flood would MM experience if they lowered the price?  I know from my own personal experience if you have too many clients to service "It's a lot like not enough butter spread over too much bread." (to paraphrase tolkien)

I wonder if they're afraid of making too much money too quickly?
It's the ONLY logical explanation that I can imagine for the flex price tag.
Would they be absolutely swamped with business if they lowered the price?
Is this an ingenious attempt at controlled growth?

If MM is trying to build a solid base first before they let flex explode then my hat would be off to them... except i don't wear one.  But if i did it would most certainly be off.
