<rant> No, that I wouldnt but surely Australia (and probably that includes New Zealand and South Africa) is a large enough area to need more than one person out there.. then again its a demand vs supply thing.
Here in spain CF is pretty low (where I am at any rate) But I know that in the capital there is more activity. I am sure that one MM person for the whole of Europe would be a kinda small testimate. It would sadden me to see MM leave any territory, but as has been said in this list, survive or die. If PHP is becoming glorious (no �� to buy and avalable on nearly all platforms) its an amazing testament to no marketing forces right? With the ASP.NET stuff I am kinda dubious as has been said before but then again Microsoft can aford to saturate and do what the hell it likes as it can make it a loss leader just so that people have to buy Visual Studio. Would MM do that to Coldfusion to let them sell more licences for Dreamweaver? Maybe ship a free version of CF with every copy of dreamweaver? I think CF and the related technologies (fusebox for example) is great, love it. but is MM really on the decline financially? (not rethorical question.. I simply dont know or have the time to check out) As the market fragments I think CF wil find its niche (look at the proposed features of Blackstone) and work it until that dries up and then change the feature focus. As with any product really. </rant> <plug> I hope CF and MM keep gonig.. means that more people get to use CFEclipse! </plug> My 50 eurocents worth MD On Wed, 17 Nov 2004 10:55:27 -0500, Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Not so much outlive anything but going back to topic. > > > > count number of sales reps/evangelisers for CF in Australia > > count number of sales reps/evanglisers for Microsoft/ ASP.NET > > in Australia > > > > Simple.. make a call to noth and see who turns up on your > > doorstep first pluggin their wares. > > > > I LOVE CF but Macromedia need to plan on Total Global > > Coverge, besides..
