Ok.
Thanks,

No, sorry if I implied that. I don't think the upgrade will
be hard in anyway. I am sure a lot of users will do it as soon as the player is
available.
Not a resistance on the user's part, my point is just that,
like any browser upgrade or web control/addin upgrade, the casual internet users
are not very quick to update. If adobe has plans of "pushing" the upgrade to all
existing player users, then I am sure that will increase the adoption rate very
rapidly. I must say I have not read anything about the upgrade plans, so I can't
speak to that.
But delivering an application that requires brand new
software in order to be used is just always a risk - hopefully Adobe does enough
to mitigate it that all of the early flex 2 adopters will not face problems with
potential users not having the required player for the first few months after
it's release.

This seems to contradict what Adobe has said about the
"seamless" upgrading to
Flash 9. Do you see such a resistance on the part of
the consumer market user
to not upgrade?
If so, why? Will the upgrading not be as easy as
we think?
Thanks,

I definitely agree with your points regarding licensing,
but the problem with adoption of flex 2.0 as the platform for consumer apps is
the need for the adoption of the new player. I personally would not want to
release a production flex 2.0 app to the world, on a public site, until the
player has saturated the market (50% + or more). Now if you can somewhat control
your target audience (i.e. intranet apps, or niche userbase, etc) then it is not
a problem.
But it will be a while before the yahoo's and amazon's
would adopt flex 2.
Just my opinion.

clients with large applications will stay with 1.5/as2. The licence cost
of 1.5 prevented all but large enterprise clients from adopting Flex. 2.0
breaks that barrier, and any shop can now build Flex apps of any size for the
cost of development. The third party market for 1.5/AS2 will shrink.
The market for 2.0/AS3 will grow. How fast? Sorry, I can’t really even guess,
but fast. From:
If a client is seeking a set of custom
components and plans to use them for building applications for other clients in
the future what would you advise them about building these components in AS2
versus AS3. Flex components are obviously more convenient for me to build
but what is the honest answer if asked "How long will it be before my clients
are using these?" in regards to their own clients and ActionScript 3
components? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com
