So - not really a "Flex" thing - but I did notice while cruising around the Microsoft website (looking for work stuff)... there's a LOT of flash in there... kinda funny how there's a big developer push to develop with Silverlight (on the part of Microsoft) and yet, they utilize Flash technology quite a bit. I guess there is a difference between just an animation and a full fledged RIA... just thought it was interesting (reminded me of the old days, Microsoft using *nix for the stability... hahaha)
