Interesting.  This is kind of what I expected.  I was previously an Associate 
Partner through the Allaire program.  Back then Associate Partners actually 
got Studio in addition to the server products.  I actually did get a few leads 
through Allaire - one in particular has become one of our main clients.

I'm having a hard time seeing the value proposition of the current Associate 
Partner program.  Since Studio is no longer included at this level Associate 
Partners are basically just getting CF Server.  I could easily buy a Pro license 
for the cost of membership in the program.  Alternately, the Enterprise 
development versions are available to all.

I raised this issue because one of our clients is having major ongoing 
problems dealing with Macromedia on their CF Enterpise subscriptions (MM 
alternately has no record of their subscriptions or an incomplete record 
depending on which day you speak to them).  At any rate, I've found myself 
wondering whether or not participating in the Partner program would actually 
put me in a better position to provide service to my client.  At this point I'm 
inclined to think not.
