I'll answer some I feel qualified to answer.
> 1. How well will CF perform on IIS? How much better/worse is > Apache/Tomcat? We currently only use IIS and performance is fine, although apache is considered a lighter weight and more easily configured web server by many. CF integrates in a very simple way to to the web server - simply registering that .cfm pages should be passed to the CF server. 2. Will CF cause performance or other problems for other applications > (existing, projected, and/or possible applications in the next 5 yrs) on > the same server? (J2EE and legacy ASP) Well if you run more processes on a server they all use resources and have an effect on each other, but I don't know of any specific problems. 3. How much time will it take to learn/administer CF on the server? Half a day to a day will have you up and running - it is really very simple to learn the basics and more indepth stuff can wait until you need it. 4. How long does it take to ramp up to programming in CF For ASP programmers the switch will be very easy and you should get a positive reaction because CF is a very nice language to work with. You can grasp the basics in a few days, but beware of then creating spaggetti code. I would advise that you also take the time to adopt one the frameworks popular with CF (e.g. mach-ii, fusebox, model-glue) and these will push you to structure the code nicely from day one. This investment will pay back 100 fold in saved maintenance costs.
