By adding Rev to their mix suddenly all sorts of opportunities open up for them, from custom tools for business managers to VPN UIs to CD-ROM sales tools to commercial products that would be difficult or impossible to do well on the Web
Let me, if I may, use this portion of Richard's excellent analysis to suggest there is even more value available to you when you start using Revolution for in-house, throwaway projects. For years I have used HyperCard for any task requiring combining text and images. This includes letterhead, CD labels, advertising copy layout, "slide show" presentations, online manuals, etc.
More recently, a long-time client asked me to prepare a summary of the reasoning for converting the drywall estimating software I wrote for them ca 1988 to Revolution and exploring how the software might present itself. In response I delivered a CD with a Revolution standalone consisting of a letterhead field, a scrolling text field, three buttons, and three substacks.
The standalone opens & reads like a scrolling letter, until the field scrolls completely to the end. At that point the three buttons appear. MouseUp at any button displays one of three possible designs for the main input screen.
So don't overlook how Revolution can work for you in-house as you use it to develop the products that pay the rent.
