Sun has released the first version of JavaFX, aptly named JavaFX 1.0. "JavaFX 1.0 returns to the sales pitch that Sun used during Java's launch more than 13 years ago: a foundation for software on a wide variety of computing "clients" such as desktop computers or mobile phones. JavaFX builds on current Java technology but adds two major pieces. First is a new software foundation designed to run so-called rich Internet applications--network-enabled programs with lush user interfaces. Second is a new programming language called JavaFX Script that's intended to be easier to use than traditional Java."

Seems to be an awful lot like Flex, except Flex runs on Flash player and this runs on, I'm guessing Java VM? I know people will shout, but Flash seems more likely to be installed these days, and if not is a miniscule download. How does this compare?
