Hi Colin,

Maybe this isn't exactly what you are looking to show but one of my  
favorite features of Rev is the fact that you don't need to compile  
your application each time you want to test it. Personally I found  
this very time consuming with Flash and other environments that  
require you to compile.

If you design your application using the splash screen technique then  
you can be writing code on OS X and as soon as you save your script in  
the IDE you can double-click to launch the executable for testing on a  
Windows machine running on your network or in a VM. I think Rev's  
"always on" development environment provides you more time to  
experiment with your UI because you don't have to wait to compile each  
time you want to see how a change is going to look/work. For me this  
is one of the key differentiators between Rev and the other desktop  
development environments that I am aware of.

Regards,
