That might even have a cascading effect as smaller folks that have chosen another route grow larger or take influential roles in larger companies...

The web server market is bifurcating (can't believe I said that)! Sure, the shared hosts providers and server farms will be with for us a while (maybe a long while), but the one-sies, the small web hosts are coming... (as sure as the bloggers are replacing the traditional media as a source for information and news. Anyone with a $500 computer, a $19/mo DSL connection (and little more) can host a credible web site... and provide as much service to their clientele as, say, Victoria's Secret, does to theirs. Macromedia's server software offerings are geared to serve the larger customers, and I suspect they will be successful. To the smaller, emerging shop, Macromrdia's cost of entry is way out there. They can not afford it! They will look elsewhere. I believe this market will be served by open-source and proprietary software vendors with more flexible offerings: Laszlo (God I hate typing that name), New Atlanta, Railo, to mention a few. No disrespect to Macromedia intended... but if they do not supply their server products at affordable prices, the smaller customers will seek alternatives. that will. That's the free market.
