AJAX and the Richer Internet Application : This is an article on ZDNet Blogs about AJAX, Flex and DreamFactory, the three emerging RIA's. The author complains that AJAX lacks graphic capabilities which is where Flex leads the market. The interesting part about the whole story is not the content itself but this comment in the TalkBack section. I completely agree with Frank, many a times we get into a comparing mode and start comparing one against another, I am no exception myself, its a urge to do so. But in the process we completely forgot the possibilities of leveraging both of these competing technologies to deliver something better than what each one of them can achieve independently.

Now I have a question, why do you ever need fifty to sixty thousand moving pieces in your RIA? :)
