Web standards and Windows standards are sometimes opposed to each other. What we should do is keep in mind where the application is going. If it is a web app, then flashing is fine...if not, then flashing is contrary to the standards. I'm not saying you can't have flashing labels, etc in a Windows application. I'm saying you shouldn't use flashing labels, etc.
