Microsoft could always avoid mistakes by licencing Flash and Flex technology
from Adobe.. ;-)
Scott, I won't beat the drum, since I'm probably alone in thinking this: It's
difficullt to see posts by a Microsoft Product Manager as being intended to
help the flex community. Silverlite and whatever else people may choose to use
- fine, but effectively promoting product while 'informing' the flex community,
I find problematic.
At least put your full title on your posts - don't be shy about being the
WPF/Silverlight Product Manager.
I know that you have stated that you are no longer a product Evangelist. I
think the only thing that has happened is that the evangelising has become more
subtle.
Ironically, as a Flex developer I have a feeling I'm about to get beat up for
this post.

(I'd also add that if I were sitting on a Microsoft forum (shudder), I'd feel
equally peeved if Adobe bods were sticking their nose in there)

heh, that would be an assumption. I use this forum to see what the average
joe is having trouble with so that I can ensure we don't repeat the same
mistakes, think of this as a great ear to the grown forum. I gave up my Flex
days in 2007 ...
Anyway.. just setting the record straght around some misconceptions around
our products, do what you will with that.

It's good to see that even Microsoft management are coding in Flex these
days.. ;-)
Have a good weekend.
