When you're talking about MySpace, there are a lot of factors to consider. An important one you didn't include, Robert, is network traffic. You have to remember that with the kind of demand that MySpace gets, something that in your world is a non-issue can become a major bottleneck in their world. For more interesting info on MySpace, see this article:

As for 64-bit support, I spoke at a conference in Rome last November with Ben Forta, where he said publicly it's unlikely that Scorpio will provide native 64-bit support. You can also read the comments by Damon Cooper (CFMX Director of Engineering) regarding 64-bit support (he's less than enthusiastic): http://www.fekke.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/12/20/Does-ColdFusion-need-64-bit-S upport-Short-answer-Yes Our plans are to provide native 64-bit support for BlueDragon 7.0 on the widest number of platforms possible. In fact, there's already a beta of native 64-bit BD 7.0 for Red Hat Linux 4 (RHEL4) and the x64 architecture: ftp://ftp.newatlanta.com/public/bluedragon/7_0b2/server/BlueDragon_Server_JX _70_326-Linux64.sh Vince Bonfanti New Atlanta Communications, LLC http://www.newatlanta.com > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven > Ross > Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 9:48 AM > To: discussion@acfug.org > Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] MySpace growth > > I think the most interesting part is that they no longer use CF, > actually the article mentions that they moved away from CF awhile ago. > And the reason why they are using BD .NET is because they want to run > native .NET code as it is faster.
