Why exactly was CFMX6 needed to save the product from CF5, if that's what you meant? Just curious as I am still in love with 5.0

(1) Full Open Source would be bad: who would pay to keep Ben's beard well trimmed? (2) If there is a movement to Open Source CF, then I would suggest the following: a) Standard becomes "Free". Does almost everything. b) Enterprise remains cost, but drops in price (I would keep paying for that) c) the Split between Standard and Enterprise is handled the same way Red Hat handles their free and non-free code. They get paid for advanced versions, which keeps a development team, and those features move down into the "free" version. d) I'm totally excited about Adobe + ColdFusion: a platform for them to continue their push of web-changing technology, more resources, an even better brand name from recognition and acceptance, a wide group of people to market to. I think there is powerful synergy. e) Full open source = slowed development of platform and the inability to do what they did between 5 and 6 (which was needed to save the product) - open source could never muster the time, talent, costs, or (most importantly) the political consensus to make such a major change to a product. Stephen Cassady I still like my ColdFusion very much thank you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:222989 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
