That particular feature comparison is a bit misleading because it doesn't include all of the features added in CF7, which is odd when the same chart lists "CFML Language Support" which no version of CF will ever not include. However the chart doesn't make any mention of Flash Forms or XFORMS support with the new cfform tags, which I suspect wll be big motivators for some of the smaller shops when they see things like the tabsets (which I won't use anyway because they're Flash and I have comparable reuseable, cross-browser compliant and DOM standard javascript widgets built with XML). In addition the comparison describes "High-Performance Reporting and Document Generation" which is also somewhat misleading as when looking at the page you might think that all the new reporting tools are only available with Enterprise and that "High-Performance" is just an adjective to describe the feature. The truth is the reverse -- "high-performance" is the feature offered with Enterprise -- the Standard version does include the reporting features as well but is minus some performance as I understand it. I'm guessing the thought process involved in that decision is that smaller shops won't need top-shelf performance, they'll mostly just want the ability to create the documents without worrying to much about the speed. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
