Thanks ,Ben.

I'm happy that I got my point across.

I hope that this changes things with regard to MM marketing and that we
CF Developers are able to benefit from a more inclusive marketing
campaign for MM products.

I agree with you on that one. Excuses aside, the marketing concentrates
on those other features because there is more to say about them. As I
already said, there are indeed benefits for us CF folks but they are
incremental, not major new features (that I know of). CF should have
been been more prominent, they screwed up, and we're not letting them
live it down, but at the same time that wasn't a whole lot more to say
(that was CF specific).

Speaking for myself, I do question the commitment from a marketing
standpoint for CF.

You said that they wished to target the PHP and ASP market, but this
doesn't explain why there was no mention of CF specific products in
their initial marketing campaign. 

That contradicts a company wide commitment to a product and a cohesive
vision for a line of utilities that includes that product.

It's like New Atlanta came out with an IDE for CFML and in the next
revision mentioning pages upon pages of new features for .Net and
nothing for the standard Bluedragon server, whilst saying outside the
offical marketing campaign there have been several 'exciting'
improvements for standard Bluedragon.

That's akin to what MM is doing with their marketing.

In the offical campaign they mention improvements for .ASP and .PHP. 
But on these lists they say that us CF Coders have so much to look
forward to, 
yet none of these are worth mentioning in the official marketing
campaign??? 

That does not compute.
