Yeah the server's under a fair amount of load. As for flash, true, a lot could be but it's all done as applets that are loaded on the fly i.e. the video streaming that's built in, the simple data integration (lets face it Flash is a PITA when it comes to dynamic data -or was the last time I tried...). I think the issue MS is going to have to overcome is the fact that even before it's got out there and people can see how simple it is to code in and produce stunning effects, there has been a plethora of people saying it looks like Flash -yes it does because the samples that have been generated so far have been designed like that. >From a development POB I don't know how many open source type developers will use it but its integration between Windows and the .Net framework is phenomenal... Just my 2p Tim
