There is one realy great reaosn to run CFML on .net, the very fact that you can still be a CFML developer but legeravge the masses of .net components, scripts, and general free and open source stuff. Such things have always been lacking on the ColdFusion front and you more opften than not have to buy something commerical or roll your own. There is also the speed issue, JAVA isn't the fastest Server technology, and I think you can find enough evidence online to proove to yourself that .net is faster than JAVA in most situations. Whether BD.NET is faster than regular CFML running on J2EE I don't know as I have not tested, but I would bet good money that it is.
There really is no reason to be negative about BlueDragon as it is still CFML, so its not ANTI coldfusion or anything.

Someone just threw out the comment ".NET is a better platform than Java/J2EE on Windows" and you agree with that when there was no research given at all. The only example to back that statement up was that a customer went from 12 servers to 4. I realize that managers will make asinine decision based on buzzwords, but don't sit here and agree with someone from New Atlanta on how .NET BlueDragon is better than CF and expect me to sit here and accept it without any research or examples that can be independantly verified. I can hear from Vince all day long how much better .NET is than Java on Windows, but if it were so horrible why are there so many applications that use J2EE on Windows? What platform is the best in running a J2EE server? Sun Solaris? OSX? Linux? The Java version of ColdFusion is run on plenty of big business servers and until I see some kind of research showing me hard number differences between these applications then I will continue to have my opinion that "The only reason I can see a company moving to BlueDragon .NET is to transition completely to .NET and away from CF."
