Heh, my point exactly. My definition of an incompatibility includes introducing tags in the cf namespace. > Compatibility is a very high priority for us.

You're version of compatibility may be a high priority, but you define compatibility rather loosely. > Regarding sandbox security: no, that's not something we support in the BD > Java/J2EE editions.

If you have a web site that needs to talk to an Access database, then you have to fully trust the web site because there's no native .Net provider for Access. Once you fully trust a web site, all bets are off. Windows Server 2003 AppPools do a fair job, but they are just as quirky as CFMX 6.1 sandboxes. For instance, if you're using ASP.Net web services, it's not enough to place the AppPool user in the IIS_WPG group, you have to give the IIS_WPG group full control over the Windows temp directory. Those are just a few examples of the issues we've run into with sandboxing .Net apps. We maintain an internal wiki of these types of issues. Suffice it to say that the page for creating a ColdFusion MX 6.1 sandbox is a good deal shorter than setting up an ASP.Net sandbox. > As for BD enhancements, you and I just view things differently.

I actually evaluated BlueDragon for use in our shared hosting environment. I found several bugs and posted them to your bug tracker. I've been on the BlueDragon list since it was TagServlet. I've discussed these very issues on that list. For you to be so blatantly dismissive of my opinion is pretty shocking. I'll let it go at that. I don't think this conversation is about compatibility any more.
