MySpace did evaluate CFMX, before BlueDragon even, and found that CFMX performance and stability didn't match BlueDragon.NET. If you're at CFUNITED, come to the New Atlanta/MySpace keynote address this Friday afternoon. Peter Amiri, Director of Technical Operations for MySpace, will talk in more detail about their decision to go with BlueDragon.
BTW, there are many other companies who have been evaluating and deploying BlueDragon.NET over the past few months. All consistently tell us that the performance and reliability are better than CFMX in real-world applications. In fact, the very first customer to deploy on BlueDragon.NET switched from CFMX.
