Re: Microsoft rumored to be buying Adobe

2010-10-12 Thread David McGraw

I can't imagine it's good for ColdFusion, then again, perhaps it may mean some 
real advertising and pushing of a great technology.  Imagine CF freely bundled 
with all IIS servers.  It could mean a HUGE boom for the CF community.  CF.NET 
would rock.

Oh, man, forgot about Lasso.  Back in '98 or '99 I had to convert half a 
dozen sites from Lasso to ColdFusion.  Lasso was fine, I guess, except that 
it was running on a Mac server :)

If this actually happened, I suspect that the product would be
divested or discontinued. But I really doubt that this will happen.
The only thing that Adobe has that MS doesn't is the design tools
market. There isn't much history of MS buying established competitors
to their own products. And speaking of established competitors, during
the existence of CF, Microsoft has gone through at least four
different competing products: they had a couple of things before ASP
(IDC and HTX I think), then there was ASP, then ASP.NET.

 Microsoft bought FoxPro 8 years ago, and Foxpro is still alive.

That's not living. That's barely existing. From Wikipedia:

In March 2007, Microsoft announced that there will be no VFP 10, thus
making VFP9 (released to manufacturing on December 17, 2004) the last
commercial VFP release from Microsoft. The support of Version 9 is
ongoing with service packs that were released December 8, 2005 and
October 11, 2007.

No, this is not true. At the time they acquired FoxPro, it was
significantly more advanced in many respects than Access. But they
significantly slowed down the release cycle for FoxPro - it took
forever for VFP 9. At the same time, they incorporated technology from
FoxPro into Access.

  Our company has a lot of legacy FoxPro still running.  As I understand 
it, though, support for Visual FoxPro 9 ended April 2010.  It is 
certainly not a living product, despite the fact that Microsoft did 
release several versions of Visual FoxPro after they bought the line.

The only thing that Adobe has that MS doesn't is the design tools
