Mike, While it's true that Java is not owned by anyone it does suffer from institutional infighting and proprietary vendor issues. I'm a little tepid on that item. I agree with everything else however.

Eric, here are some of the things I see on my travels, I hope they help (I am assuming CFMX here). ColdFusion is native operating system agnostic .NET is not. To me and many of our clients, this is very important. It is still significantly quicker to code in ColdFusion than other web application languages. ColdFusion has an optional well developed and widely used application architecture/framework called Fusebox. (I said optional so the flaming is not too intense ;o) The core of ColdFusion is written in Java. It is not clear as yet where this might take CF but Java is not owned by anyone .NET is. You can run ColdFusion as an application server in Java containers such as Websphere, Weblogic etc. Those are what I can think of at present, hth. Kind Regards - Mike Brunt Original Message ----------------------- Actually I am looking for some fair comparisons of the two products (CF and .net) to present to our group. -----Original Message----- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 20, 2003 11:41 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: CF or .net?
