I think we're all reasonably aware of what the technology can do. What I was particularly intersted in any experiences of actually selling/building/deploying a Flex app in places where a traditional desktop environment has been. Was there resistance to the idea?
Were people concerned about vulnerability of net connections and did you do anything to mitigate those fears/put in place a standby?
My primary point is that this is not a Flex issue. Its the same issue for ajax/_javascript_ apps like salesforce.com and *lots* of other companies that do this. For a felling of how corporate america is responding to remotely served applications and the absolute furor over the impact that it is starting to have in the corporate marketplace, (and the fact that most every major enterprise software company is converting their software to work this way) you should check out some tech trades. I read news.com but there are probably others for the enterprise software as well. What you are posing as a *problem* is being heralded by most corporate customers and software companies as the wave of the future. I'm not saying that this is appropriate for every piece of enterprise software but that the market dynamics are heavily pushing in this direction.
Whatever anecdotal stories you might hear here, the more accurate reflection of what is going on is the broad discussion of this issue in the tech press.
