How you ask Mark? Well it is a good question to ask, but Firmware was out in peoples faces giving business/companies packs. They held events for businesses to come along and see the product in action. You could invite friends along in the industry, they put on a small supper and gave away door prizes and all you had to do was to turn up and watch the demonstration/presentation on ColdFusion.
All Adobe needs to do is have someone like Ben Forta come along into the government sector and he can do his magic, it seems that they are doing all this magic pushing of the product into companies and business in there own backyard but not the rest of the world. I guess if you ignore something long enough then it is bound to go the way of the dodo.
