I think Adobe, by itself, giving ColdFusion away at this point could be construed as the company saying that it's a no-winner in it's product lineup.
What needs to really happen is for Sun or JBoss to bundle CFMX with its offerings. I think alliances with companies with a firm standing in the Java world would increase ColdFusion's credibility AND increase market share. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Phillip Holmes Sent: Sun 11/5/2006 9:18 PM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] Why Cold Fusion vs Java? vs PHP? vs .ASP? etc. Mono is fully supported by Novell. > > Part of the problem is that the price of the CF server is associated with > perceived value.

I think you give it away or make the price nominal to saturate the market with your product (which CF would grow like wildfire, IMHO) and make your money on application and support contracts (just like Novell does). -- Phillip _______________________________________________ Reply to DFWCFUG: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists1.safesecureweb.com/mailman/listinfo/list List Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40list.dfwcfug.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40dfwcfug.org/ DFWCFUG Sponsors: www.HostMySite.com www.teksystems.com/ _______________________________________________ Reply to DFWCFUG: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists1.safesecureweb.com/mailman/listinfo/list List Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40list.dfwcfug.org/ http://www.mail-archive.com/list%40dfwcfug.org/ DFWCFUG Sponsors: www.HostMySite.com www.teksystems.com/
