And hopefully they won't. But in the long wrong, everthing is about money. They've moved their customer service off shore.... What's to stop them from making InContext a "service" and collect for it. Adobe's products are great. But, as a technology writer, I have been reviewing and writing about their products for several years. They are anal about licensing and making sure nobody uses their stuff without paying for it. Not that that is a bad thing, but sometimes it gets in the way of providing good, sensible service. I agree with you that the solution would be better if it worked directly from the server where the site is hosted, instead of trough adobe.com Adobe hasn’t said–to my knowledge–that they plan to charge for it.

Don't know for sure. I mean they already charge the user for Dreamweaver - what's the point of charging them again.

Don’t know for sure. I mean they already charge the user for Dreamweaver – what’s the point of charging them again.

Understandably, Adobe wouldn't want that. Besides, if it turns out to be a huge success, Adobe may start charging for it.

I said that I would like it to be on the customer's server - the InContext Editing backend. And I know what Flex is, my concern was that early I used Firefox 2 and I couldn't use InContext Editing.

InContext Editing then uses (S)FTP to manage the files on the web server. If you have Flash player installed, you also have Flex... Flex is more a development platform, a framework, see http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/ See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/getting_started_with_ice_eu.html for some details.
