Dale, I did a quick search for software pricing to put the CF8 pricing in some perspective..
Windows 2003 Enterprise 3,443 Windows 2003 Standard 958 Oracle 10g Enterprise 40,000 Oracle 10g Standard 4,995 Sql Server Enterprise 13,699 Sql Server Standard 1,754 JBoss Enterprise 4,500 Now as far as software goes, CF8 is reasonably priced. If you look at just J2ee servers or Web app servers, yea CF8 Ent is very high. Yes, this will hurt their sales. It's simply a point for you to determine if the features are worth it for you or not. I'm sure BlueDragon and the others will incorporate a lot of those same features down the road just like Adobe adopted cfthread from BlueDragon. So no biggie, wait 6 months.. Another point for the Adobe people, I remember when the standard/enterprise started and there was a lot complaining back then. With the price gap getting wider, maybe it's time for a third version, let's call it a "Business" version. That provides some of the least costly new features and provides a bridge (or stepping stone) from standard to enterprise. I think that would solve a lot of issues with this and take almost nothing for Adobe to do.
