Regarding ProServer. Although this product was pulled, it did work very well. THe idea that your existing workspaces were simply dumped on your net server was great. Very simple to set up and the VB CGI worked a treat. It definitely was the fastest way to internet-enable your workspaces (and have navigation controls). It is of course old news now but i do think it was a shame that it was pulled so quickly after release. MI ProS was a rapid development environment. MapXtreme on the other hand....

MapXtreme comes with extra objects to manage mapping sessions, etc. You really don't need to use them if you don't want to. It depends on the traffic. We negotiated with MapInfo to let us use MapX for an "intranet" site with less than 40 users(that comes with the SDK) as a test. At that time we only had about 30 people who used the site. We used it to develop and test so we could convince management it was something to do for clients on the internet. We eventually bought 2 copies of MapXtreme NT and 2 of MapXtreme Java NT bundled as part of a package with COVLOC. A Coverage Locator tool for customer address lookups, outages, problems, etc with MapMarker and StreetPro. MapInfo used to have a product called Proserver, before MapX came around. It uses OLEISAPI, the precursor to ActiveX and the IIS API for ASP. We could never get that thing working. It was very similar to CGI. You would have to compile an exe in C++ or maybe VB and call MapInfo through MapBasic. We found it easier at that point to write a Mapbasic app to create static images from workspaces with tables where data changed often and put them into a scheduler and run them once or twice day and push the maps to the web. I would say, download MapX or MapXtreme trial version, try development with it using ASP and vb/javascript. Then talk to a vendor or MapInfo directly about what you need.

Internet applications are licensed differently (i.e. MapXtreme is priced differently depending on how many will be using it.) However, I don't know about using MapX... that might be an inexpensive way to do web apps (assuming you don't mind the price of the SDK and forty licenses.) I'd have to go read the license to be sure of that.
