oh, pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lets do some simple math dreamweaver mx updates: 6.1 =1 coldfusion mx updates: 1 2 3 6.1 (red sky) =4 hummmmmm.......... > You said that they wished to target the PHP and ASP market, but this > doesn't explain why there was no mention of CF specific products in > their initial marketing campaign. hello, you just got red sky and php got ziltch & asp got ziltch & .net got ziltch. seems too me that they(non cf crowd) should be the ones complaing since those users probably make up 75% of the ppl who buy dw. so are you saying that we should have MM say screw u too the php & asp & only concentrate on cf? if thats the case, say goodbye too cf i surely dont see enough cf'ers too support it. personally, i see MM do a hell of a lot for the cf crowd. if you dont think so, go to adobe or M$ and see what they will do for you, LMFAO! sure we need people to voice their needs but this is getting ridulous. as far as someone mentioning their cf survey & they didnt get all they want...... i wont even comment on that no brainer. maybe im just in a bad mood & i appologize for that, but come on. folks at MM, i think you are doing a great job & thank you for that. maybe once ppl stop pouting and get more ppl too use coldfusion then the finacial capibilities will be there for MM to do something just for the coldfusion crowd. > > In the offical campaign they mention improvements for .ASP and .PHP. > But on these lists they say that us CF Coders have so much to look > forward to, > yet none of these are worth mentioning in the official marketing > campaign??? helloooooo.....
