I assumed ( although do not know for a fact ) that the CF Studio 5 Ultradev 4 was just a "first out the door thing". The product won't be available in a 'boxed' form until sometime in November. I suspect that we will be getting a single CF Studio package sometime soon.
People with CF Studio 5 subscriptions will be receiving their CF Studio 5 upgrades, but not a free copy of Ultradev.

The guess is that their long term plan is to merge the two into one. Yes, all word from Macromedia has said that this is not the case, but... time will tell. I spoke to a publisher about doing a CF Studio book. They didn't seem to think that CF Studio had much of a future because "Why waste resources on two different editors." >Also, quit making it sound like it's one product. It's not.

Just sell CFStudio as a standalone product! My guess ( I sort of stated before ) is that they are trying to blur the line between the two products, so when CF Studio goes away... it will cause less of a stir. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Reboog711 | ICQ: 5246969 | Fax / Phone: 860-223-7946 -- DotComIt: Database Driven Web Data My Book: Instant ColdFusion 5 | http://www.instantcoldfusion.com My New Book: ColdFusion: A Beginner's Guide due out next February -- Far Cry Fly, Alternative Folk Rock http://www.farcryfly.com | http://www.mp3.com/FarCryFly -- I can't believe I just gave up a gig...
