> 1. How well will CF perform on IIS? How much better/worse is > Apache/Tomcat? Very well. I'd say that it works as well or better with IIS than with Apache, but that's based on past knowledge and this may (and probably has) changed over the years.

(J2EE and legacy ASP) Not as long as you have sufficient ram on the machine. I have a client running CFMX 7, SQL2k, IIS, Asp code and other things on a single box with no problems. > 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? Basic administration is rather easy and takes little time. Some of the advanced features might take a little more time, but the chances of you needing them right out the gate is minimal. > 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF CF is very easy to learn with a number of good books as well as videos and tutorials out there. In addition, the community is very helpful. > 5.

I'm not sure what they mean with this but it is possible to leverage Java classes in CF with the pro version. > 6. Macromedia's site also says the enterprise license gives you "Use > ColdFusion with other enterprise-class systems and databases, and deploy > ColdFusion applications as standard J2EE EAR/WAR files on leading J2EE > application servers such as WebSphere or WebLogic.

How much time will it take to learn/administer J2EE on the server? I use CF in the standard mode which allows me to do everything I want including use of external Java classes. The J2EE mode allows for multiple seperate 'instances' of CF but beyond that, I don't really know. > 8.
