The problem with that Dave is that even the Enterprise customers won't be able to find developers eventually, if the small business and educational use is left behind. We're already starting to see this developer shortage and eventually companies are going to get tired of having to train developers when they can use other platforms and pull from a readily-available pool of trained and experienced people. I just wonder if there isn't more that we as a community can do to pressure Adobe or at least try to make them see the error of this approach. Seriously, there is simply no way they will be successful long-term targeting solely an Enterprise market and that's just going to hurt all of us in the end. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298300 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
