I suspect that ColdFusion would not be long for this world. Or any other product for which Microsoft has a competing product already (Dreamweaver?). At the very least the developer edition with its built in Apache would go away, as would the Linux version, and licensing would become an absolute nightmare. I could see it becoming incompatible with Apache to. As hostile towards OSS as Microsoft is and as much OSS as CF integrates I'd be very worried about the future of ColdFusion if I though Microsoft was going to buy Adobe. Fortunately for my piece of mind I can't think of any reason why Adobe would be interested in such a merger.
And I would ask that no one shatter that delusion. I'd rather not have nightmares tonight. -----Original Message----- From: G Money [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 3:32 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Microsoft Bought Adobe Today?
