700k? Did you mean 70k

700k would be 100 servers worth of enterprise

I'm assuming that means you have 100 companies with their own servers who
need a licence, in which case that would be their cost not yours.

Geoff,

You really did not make sense, my beef is with the cost. Not how much we
leverage of Coldfusion or not.

But all I can say, is that we are looking at a hardware infrastructure that
would see us need to spend in excess of $700k in licensing of Coldfusion
only. Compare that to the $2k we spent and tell me why big enterprises won't
use Coldfusion.

And explain to the rest of us how you would justify going the Coldfusion
route.

Again it has nothing to do about what I develop in, or what I love. It comes
down to what the businesses and companies of australia are prepaired to
spend.

And all I can say to you Geoff, is this. If you where in the position to
create an Application, and hardware infastructure for a very larger project,
and you could spend $2k in software comapred to $700k what business decision
would you take, knowing that there is no way you can recoup the $700k?

And to shut you up Geoff, I will die a Coldfusion programmer if I have the
chance.

You can't justify the expense of the CF license as your product
doesn't leverage enough from CF. Or you don't sell enough of it to
make the cost of CF work for you.  That's fine.  Use Java/.NET/Babbage
Difference Engine/whatever and cobble together your own environment.
So there you have it: end of another mind numbing thread.

Please stop belly-aching about ColdFusion and how it doesn't match
*your* requirements.  None of us on this list really care.
