(without any server like software including that mini server offered for
presentation purposes)? In other words can I "compile" a cf page and save it
in cgi directory? I am just curious since now CF page is compiled before it
executes, could code compiled by CF server be used?

One thing nice about the .NET Framework is that if an application is
designed well it is easy (fairly) to make it available in many formats
(web
site, windows app, pocket pc app), I think that is one of the reasons it
is
built like it is. It is nice to have that ability to port the software to
different platforms easily like that, just have to change the UI and
everything else works the same. ASP.NET is definitely better then classic
ASP, but CF still has better and easier coding. Just like everyone has
said, CF is the best thing I have seen yet for getting information in and
out of a database.

What do you mean by shallow support? Honestly I almost never used Java in
CF
since CF has almost everything I ever needed. Once should also look at
what
is needed, not what can be done. Sure C#.Net offers a lot, but you only
really need a fraction of that for the web.
The specialization of a language is good thing, the stripping down of
C/C++
into C# is all about that. However, in my opinion, they don't much CF
specialization.

When comparing CF to classic ASP, this was true. However, the .Net
framework
provides a much richer environment. You're no longer limited so a small
number of VBScript or JScript functions. To a certain extent, you can
achieve this in CF with Java. However, CF's Java support is relatively
shallow. Additionally, it requires knowing a second, much more
complicated
language. In contrast, VB, Jscript, and C# are all first class .Net
languages. You can utilize just about anything in the .Net framework.
