Well, that would be a little tough in this case, since FlexBuilder is a plug-in for Eclipse (even the standalone version), and Eclipse is pure Java. So Intel vs. PowerPC isn't actually an issue. I would like to know if the date of release for FLEX Builder 3 is close enough that I would get a free upgrade if I purchase FLEX Builder 2 today? I'm sure you're not the only one who would like to know that. But Adobe doesn't announce its official release date ahead of time, and they don't announce their upgrade policies until the release. But I need to know now as I have a contract opportunity, but I don't want to pay, then just pay all over again....how soon is it to FLEX Builder 3 release date (not beta, but stable release for sale on the site). First off, you shouldn't worry so much about the beta. Adobe has announced that it is the final beta, and many people are already building production applications with it. Second, Adobe has said publicly that the release of FlexBuilder 3 will occur sometime around the middle of the first quarter. Given the fact that today is February 22 -- and given the fact that the 360Flex conference begins on Monday, and Adobe has promised a "major announcement" at the conference -- I don't think you'll have to wait too long. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com <http://www.mediumcool.com> 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560
