Hi, Dave... Not quite sure I understand your response...it seems like we're saying the same thing...
Scenario 1: Server Hardware Windows Server OS Cold Fusion Server Build app...wildly successful...setup more servers as above, paying for server hardware, server OS, and CF Server. i.e., server hardware, server OS, + $1300 Scenario 2: Server Hardware Windows Server OS ASP.NET 2.0 (Free) Build app...wildly successful...setup more servers as above, paying for server hardware, server OS, ASP.Net 2.0 is still free, so I've saved $1300 per server... Is that whay you're saying? And...does my perspective seem accurate? One reason the cost of CF is of concern is that I'm building more web software applications. And if each client has to add $1300 to the cost of my app to run it in-house, then that hurts my ability to sell the app. With ASP.NET, I don't have that cost...right?

Yes, but hardware and free software is cheaper than hardware and non-free software. In addition, you can scale up in the Unix world (especially with Solaris), while in Windows you can't as much (although this is changing somewhat). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:239281 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
