In reading my paper copy of the February 2nd issue of eWeek, there was an interesting article on RIA 1.1 where they evaluated various platforms. There was a chart presented in the article, which I’ve recreated below.

Adobe has their work cut out for them if they want to stay ahead of Microsoft!

 

If you’ve used Flex, Curl or Google Gears, then comment on how you liked, or disliked, them!
