Have your friends try Flex
Most folks who read my blog already have Flex installed, but we hear all the time about the need to convince friends that Flex is as cool as we say it is. Look no further, send them to The FLEXifier! Ben Forta, Ted Patrick, and Ray Camden have put together a nice site where you can type in your MXML and have the server compile and display it for you. No need to install the SDK or Flex Builder. It's the fastest way to see what Flex can do.

I don't know when we did it but the logo on the Adobe Labs page has been updated. I like it.

You can use the free Flex 2 SDK to build apps on Linux as we speak! Debugging support via fdb and Linux Debugger Players is still in the works, but will be publicly available by the time the Linux Player ships.
