Ok, I understand your argument and you're right. I agree with this. However, this rolls into the issue that... well, what do they do with people that are using CF 4.x, etc.? Do they have to support those people as well? Macromedia is _NOT_ microsoft, I doubt they have anywhere near the MONEY / PEOPLE / SUPPORT for that kind of tech support. > What cracks me up is that you haven't seemed to figure out that an > upgrade is a business...not a loyalty to Macromedia...decision. I totally agree that upgrading is a business decision, but someone should have decided that upgrading to Apache 2 is a serious business decision and discuss the ramifications of anything DEPENDENT on the webserver. Is Apache 1.3.7 any less secure than Apache 2.x? I'm asking here, I'm not being smart. Isn't Apache 2 still considered beta? If it's not considered beta anymore, then why is Apache 1.3.x still being maintained? I've seen MORE security issues with 2.0 lately than I have with 1.3.x (and, I would have to say that 1.3.x is the mature software here). So, now what? The business decision here in my opinion should be, "Great, do we move from Apache 1 & CF 5 to Apache 2 and CFMX?"
