I don't work for Adobe or speak for them, but I have two theories. 1) Product differentiation - holding back a few key enterprise level features has always been the differentiation between Std and Ent. Holding some features back for Ent may actually make the Std cheaper for the rest of us.
2) Cost - if there was a higher cost associated with adapting the 32 bit version to run on 64 bit they may want to pass along some of that cost to the people most likely to be demanding it the most/loudest, high end customers. Cost could be time or it could be a cost associated with any bundled 3rd party components within CF that had to be relicensed for 64 versions. I would guess that as 64 bit slowly takes over that all versions of CF would eventually be available as 64 bit. There are other Ent features that have trickled down into Std and I would think 64 bit would be similar. -Cameron On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 12:53 PM, Jeff Schoby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anyone have any friends in Adobe on the CF dev team that might be able to > shed some light on WHY they chose not to offer CF8.0.1 in 64 bit for > standard edition linux users?
