It computes just fine to me. As a CF developer, I'm keenly aware of all upcoming MM product releases. If I were a PHP developer instead, I might not even know that MM has something I can use. Macromedia needs to sell to new customers if they want to be profitable. While it might boost our egos as CF developers if Macromedia focused all its marketing on us, it wouldn't be good for any of us in the long run.
