You can add us to the list but we are 'minor' users for that server
traffic-wise but we have been using it since version 1, in fact that is how
we discovered CF, v1.5 :-), as it was bundled with WSPro. It is by far the
most stable server and now that their are good 3rd party load sharers
becoming available we will be moving back to it on our heavy traffic
servers, currently they are IIS as we have to cluster them with Cluster
Cats which is not available for WSPro.

I disagree a little there, WSPro could do with a good dose of user
interface design. Putting it simply, both are bad....

IIS5 looks and feels more or less the same as IIS4

Not us, we don't like it but it depends on what you are doing with it. As a
server at, say, a software developer's site where it has to serve a lot of
downloads of a few things it is great, an excellent product in fact, but if
you are using it as the ftp server for several hundred clients on a web
server then it is a pain, not easy to set up at all in terms of protecting
every client from everyone else. We use Vermillion ftp, very secure and
quick to set up for each new client.

I trust those of you that appreciate sports appreciated our Olympic opening
ceremony. My involvement was huge, one of the 100,000 folk at the dress
rehearsal to make sure it all worked properly! Guess which bit they didn't
try out then? :-)
