Everyone knows I disagree with a lot of Microsoft philosophy, but I've honestly never had a problem with .NET integration. All I've said is that I would never use it. If it helps you, then good for you. It just won't help *everyone*. I've always believed in the freedom to choose. I see many similarities between .NET integration and PHP integration. I could say "If you want to do .NET, then use .NET", but that would be a foolish statement - wouldn't you agree? > This might be useful when transitioning from one environment to another, but > beyond that, I just don't see much value.

I see where you're coming from, but that doesn't negate the potential usefulness of simply having the choice. -Jordan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| CF 8 â Scorpio beta now available, easily build great internet experiences â Try it now on Labs http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_adobecf8_beta Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:280140 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
