Stop drinking the friggin' Kool-Aid, GatesLover....
Why do you think M$FT tried to acquire Allaire? Because it was solid
technology THEN and it's still great today. All of the things M$FT says
their languages can do in web application development, CF has been doing for
years......and then some.
Kinda like that IE7 "tabbed windows" feature. Wow....i've enjoyed that for
the last 2 years....with firefox.
Face it, M$FT is the king of imitation, which is always quite flattering
(and profitable), but NEVER innovative.
And what's this FREE crap? The last time I checked, the operating system
and database licenses for those 50 servers you mentioned would have drowned
the price of CF...
I thought this was the DFW CFUG Mailing List....go away, Redmond Homer.
...and for the record, I love my XP Pro Desktop OS....something M$FT is
pretty good at.
Leave the server operating systems to the real big boys...UNIX.

I don't like thinking about the code that I write as "little boy" stuff.
But, I'm interested in what you said about the language being precompiled.
Are .Net applications (web applications) precompiled? I know that desktop
applications, like Paint.Net (which I love, btw), are compiled programs...
but what about web applications written using the .Net framework --
presumably written in something like C#, right?
