I was referring to adobe's livedocs in my earlier comment. Live Documents seemed awesome in the initRIA presentation and I loved it ... those guys have archived a lot in the short time that they have spent building the app ... and their grid component can totally kick Flex's Datagrid's or even AdvancedDatagrid's ass ... I hope to get access to their beta soon and then I'd be able to judge better. @Ajay,

Of course I'm a little biased having taught him at the Academy of Art and watching JR take off and do PaperCritters was astounding and fun.

Livedocs has great content but I don't like it a lot as an app... its kinda slow, more over I think it existed before 2007.
