Lynn,
My point is that one doesn't need any additional expensive software
to turn Revolution into a server, while Filemaker does require a
special server/developer version. That's a good way to impress
Filemaker users, I'd say.
My second point is that software users who use mainly Flash won't be
impressed by Revolution's capabilities to make interactive
animations. To make those people use Rev, you first need to convince
them that they don't want to make interactive animations :-)
From a company's point of few, it is surely a good thing to have
more than one tool available for specialised tasks.
Best,
Mark

I would argue that teamed with Valentina, you already have that.
With VDN
Platform Edition (Revolution), you can deploy Embedded Server/
Revolution
solutions on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. A 5-Connection server you
can
deploy in unlimited quantities, and an "unlimited" connection
server that's
about as economical as it gets.
FM makes a lot of things very easy - at the same time, that ease
comes with
many technical limitations.
I weigh all comparisons about equally - adding a new tool means
you'll have
access to more customers who particularly want a feature that
others don't
provide - as solution providers, that's not a bad thing. There are
things
that RR cannot do well or at all, that Flash can do very well - and
the
opposite is very true. And many a strength can also be turned
around into a
weakness. Ive had developers tell me "oh, I can do that a-okay in my
favorite tool!" - and the results look terrible.
If I want to lay out a responsive, native looking application on
Win/Mac/Linux, the list of candidates is pretty small. Add or
subtract a
platform, and the list changes again.
Best regards,
Lynn Fredricks
