Version 7 is not "better" or more stable than 6.1. It's the same codebase. Haven't looked at pricing of the two, but if 6.1 is not siginificantly cheaper to license than 7, then I can't conceive of a reason to not skip straight to 7.
At the time we made the decision to skip 6.1 to version 7, we had no plans to use any of the new feature set. However, in the 4 months since migration of our code began, we've already started defining specs for two addons to our system using the new features. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 10:29 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: why use coldfusion 7? > > I have a meeting with my boss on Friday to try and persuade > him to go from cf5 to cf7.
