Well, that's if you look at the Enterprise version...but is that what most people would need? I think they are really aiming at a different market here. I'm very tempted to try it for my VPS for instance, which would only cost $300 for a license (or $15/month under their rental program). Their free community version actually is less restrictive than BlueDragon and can be used for small business site...perfect for running my software on if you use something like AuthNet that doesn't use a CFX tag. Their Enterprise version looks to really make a nice hosting platform as it allows for a lot more things to be controlled per-site than with ColdFusion...you can set things like debugging and trusted cache on a per-site basis, versus server-wide. Will it become popular enough for hosts to want to offer it? That's certainly debatable...but I think definitely the pricing for the Pro version will make it very attractive to people running VPS or dedicated boxes. On the flip side, the change in licensing ColdFusion for VPS use which makes CF8 much more expensive will likely make even more people look for other options. --- Mary Jo Sminkey CFWebstore, ColdFusion E-commerce http://www.cfwebstore.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287135 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
