Though you tend to lean more towards internet (web) deployment, I would also include intranet deployment. I’m currently focusing on small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs’) that have a small number of users with no need for web access or has a restricted number of remote users (closed user groups). My initial attraction to RIA’s the R (Rich) part, your arguments are equally valid for these type of enterprises. That’s why I’m very annoyed at the pricing model for Flex. For a 5 user application, Flex is a no go. Sure, the system will expand as more and more applications are made RIA, but the number of users still remain the same. Maybe, the number of users would increase when these SMEs get to the point of giving web access to their clients and suppliers, but these would be very limited in number as these applications would as the number of remote users are resticted in scope and number.
