$200 would take a long time. However if we need to purchase site licenses
for each web site AND it is possible to reuse them, it then becomes more
palatable to me. I really hope Macromedia thinks this through thoroughly.
Don't get me wrong, I think the whole idea is heading in the wrong
direction. However it depends on the price and if Macromedia is going to do
this we need some benefits. Maybe including more Generator components? Some
of the security benefits from Enterprise?
Around here, the word php and asp have even been mentioned by a couple of
guys who not a week ago would have snarled fiercely if you asked them what
they thought about either...
