An entire technology needs to be released, not just portions. It is still too expensive to be a beginner with Adobe based technologies and this is where Microsoft and other companies will win.

Still, with all the great AJAX frameworks out there one begins to wonder what the use is for a Flash oriented solution like Flex when you can do much of what Flex offers using said frameworks. If it could be used to generate Flash Lite applications, then you have something interesting. I suspect this was a way to better position their solution vs. OpenLaszlo.

I think this is their way to say "hey developers, we know what you can do, and we will support you!" They must have a hard work ahead of the whole flash-flex-actionscript thing, since they must please graphic/web designers and programmers. Even with the flaws that Flash/Flex might have (as for developers, and for designers) I think they've accomplished great things with both tools, and proven they won't give up on US. Also, I think that there's no point in comparing flash against flex (or viceversa), since those are tools for almost opposite worlds (and purposes).
