"I do wonder however if they had held everything in and did one big announcement if this would have greater impact."
damned if they do and damned if they don't ..."can't please all the ppl all the time" stuff I have no probs with how Tim Buntel is running this and the work Ben Forta is doing right now getting usergroups up to speed (in person), mostly for the reasons you mentioned, Dale (ease to beta, info on features, etc) I *do* have a problem with the message not getting to the decision makers - manager-to-manager - but with the rumoured press briefings recently happening, I'm hoping this will be rectified. just because we hear "scorpio this, Scorpio that" every day (it seems), doesn't mean that it the industry as a whole knows about it. Especially those that sign cheques/sign off on projects. It's like your fav indie band - you go to the gigs, buy the tee shirt, etc. *you* know how good they are but the general public won't until they appear on countdown/MMM/Sunrise with Koshy. this could be the best version yet - not just in features - but in (re-)making a presence for Coldfusion. Heck, look at Ruby-on-rails, even. Ruby (the language) has been around for ages... or, Look at Silverlight. Big splash but isn't it the same WPF/e and XAML that's been kicking around for a while? only now it's got some legs? Dale, sounds like you're in the same position as a lot of smart businesses - gearing up to grab it straight away to solve pressing problems now - and get the jump on competitiors... In fact, because Adobe are being so open, the "converted" are already in the know and energy can be directed to areas that are a bit more general or marginal - or mainstream. Look for an article in the IT section of Tuesdays Australian when it's launched: that's the target to aim for, not you and I (since we already know what's in it). nah, the only thing I'd change is getting Bruce Chizen to earn his keep with some spruking. The rest is chugging along nicely. eh, just my 2c On 5/27/07, Dale Fraser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > @Geoff, > > I agree that the release of info has been better than before, and in some > respects this has been good as its kept me waiting and wanting for the new > version. > > I do wonder however if they had held everything in and did one big > announcement if this would have greater impact.
