The generated .html file checks for the 8.5 player now... and if it's not there it will (in the future) take about 1 minute... for the player to update itself? Just because it has low market penetration when it gets released doesn't mean much if you can seamlessly update the player.
Granted the user needs local admin privileges to update the player. Most sys admins will push out the new flash player when it gets released anyway because a large amount of content on the web will require it... not to mention flash's rock solid reputation as zero risk to network security.
The barrier to entry is far outweighed by the speed with which you can build, deploy and... most importantly... maintain enterprise scale rich internet applicatons with flex.

2 things:
- Flash 8.5, not 9
- a lot of us deploy on intranets, not on the internet, so having Flash
Player 8.5 manually installed and/or updated isn't a problem.

Subject: [flexcoders] Web app built on the top of Flex 2 frawemork only
requires Flash 9 player to be preinstalled, right?
Hello flexcoders,
After I read the following quote from David Mendels from his email to
Flexcoders from
09/Jan/2006:
-------------------------------------
"if you are planning to ship say, in the 2nd half of this calender year,
it *may* be in your interest to ultimately build with Flex 2.
There are many advantages to the Flex 2 product line, but since it isn't
shipping yet
you need to evaluate it in the context of your delivery schedule.
If you build with Flex 2.0, the tool and framework will be sold on a per
developer seat basis, for under $1000.
There are no runtime charges at all in this case.
The server (Flex Enterprise Services) includes both RPC services and Data
Services, and a messaging backbone,
depending on your needs it may be very valuable for your application or it
may not.
If you do use it, it will be sold both on an embedded basis and on a
per CPU basis as above"
-------------------------------------
I start thinking - how can you deliver the application on the
top of Flex 2 framework at the end of 2006 if Flash 9 player will have
a low penetration rate at customers machines at the end of 2006 ( say
15-20% )?
