Do you have/know the actual financials to be suspicious of?

Dave, I highly respect you, too, and I think everyone knows that. Of course, my predictions are from someone just as removed from the Adobe boardroom as the rest of you. My point is that I believe that I'm looking at this from a more realistic point of view, taking into consideration the true nature of the decision points they, like any other business leaders, must by federal law take into consideration. How they consider them and what they deduce is, of course, anyone's bet. I will say that for a few years now I've been suspicious of the actual revenue numbers generated by ColdFusion, how that revenue breaks down between maintenance versus new licenses for new versions, new customer growth trend, and how that trend's growth pattern compares to the overall growth patterns of other platforms. Saying that overall revenue has grown can indicate any number of things; the devil's in the details. My suspicions have made me think that things are not as rosy as we would like them to be, hence the decidedly darker side of my predictions. Again, I'm sorry if I've ruffled any feathers.
