>- see footer for list info -< Just to clarify, the cost savings can be even more dramatic than that. First, the issue of per-cpu pricing that Gary mentions is with regard to BlueDragon J2EE and .NET editions. As he says, in a single CPU setup, the cost ($2499/cpu) would be half that of CFMX Enterprise ($5999 per 2 cpus).
Now, some will want to compare standalone editions rather than J2EE/.NET. The news can be even better there. First, our commercial standalone edition, BlueDragon Server JX, is only $899/server. Not that's *per server*. CF7 is no longer priced that way, even for the standalone Standard edition ($1299 per 2 cpus): http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/product_editions/#s3 In other words, Standard edition is now licensed in the same "per 2 CPU minimum" approach that Enterprise was before. But the price wasn't raised, so few noticed. So on a box with more than 2 CPUs, the price advantage for BlueDragon Server JX ($899/server) will be still greater compared even to CF Standard ($1299 per 2 cpus). All that said, I'd like to clarify that we don't really try to sell BD on price. Since you have to do testing, etc, the few hundred dollar difference can be eaten up in a day's effort in current developer rates of pay (effort you'd spend on upgrading from one edition of CF to another, I'll note). I wouldn't even have brought this issue of price up had Gary not left open a couple points for clarification. When one talks about many boxes or many CPUs, it is an advantage. Better are all the other advantages BD offers, outlined on our site, in our docs, in CFDJ articles, and in our presentations (or offered to anyone who wants a live web presentation).
