And yet CFMX Pro is $1399 for dual proc, and includes all the flash remoting
stuff. We might all be pleasantly surprised to see that with CF 7 MM
decides to throw in a very potent Flex engine to help get market
penetration. If people are so fixed on non-CF J2EE or .NET that they are
willing to spend $12K on Flex, it seems unlikely to me that they'll suddenly
decide to bail on that and switch to CF, so I don't know that MM would be
massively hurt in the enterprise sales area.
Of course, I'm a coke monkey, not a business guru, so who knows.
