It's a shame that IIS got so dominant, I also used WebSite Pro for many years then eventually and reluctantly went to IIS. With all the latest security woes re IIS Website Pro could have been in such a strong position as far as Windows based Web Servers go. One ironic note, whilst I was working at Allaire I asked one of the senior software engineers whether there would ever be clustering support for WebSite Pro and he said "what's WebSite Pro, never heard of it?". This was ironic for me as I ended up trying and using CF because it came packaged with O'Reilley WebSite.

As for its current use, I've been using WS pro on HoF for years and have had no problems at all. I greatly fear going to IIS for many, many reasons. At 12:01 PM 3/11/02, you wrote: >I remember that!
