Maybe not ASP.NET but the fact it is powered by .NET is enough to sway it to the .NET camp. Airports are good examples of this kind of marketing - hit the business men with it.
Fact is, we will never see ColdFusion getting the kind of marketing we would like :-) "This e-mail is from Reed Exhibitions (Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom), a division of Reed Business, Registered in England, Number 678540.

No. These threads have been around forever. I suspect the day after CF 1.0 came out, somebody posted that it would soon be discontinued, or bought by Microsoft, or wouldn't be able to compete with some other product, etc, etc. > It is v.poor, but it is on all their products, I mean, it is > very rare (in fact, never) you can hit a railway station etc > and see a billboard about Photoshop or ColdFusion whereas you > frequently see an Office or Windows one. > Adobe is not a large company in terms of revenue and > marketing costs - they will be limited to magazines and word > of mouth for that. Those aren't comparable products. Office and Windows are intended for general consumer use. It's hard to get a computer without one or both of them! And, honestly, have you ever seen a billboard advertising ASP.NET?
