Does it really? If you're running those sites on CF 5, then moving them over to Open BlueDragon or Railo running on JBoss and Apache, makes a lot of sense for an upgrade. You get the massive speed increase, and you do not have to pay for cost of CF Enterprise. I don't think there is anything in CF5 that is not in either of the two OSS CF engines. Or rather if there are, then most likely its not in the current version of Adobe CF either. So in general you do have a good case for upgrading from a server that's almost 10 years old to something more recent. regards, larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
