I think you're completely missing the point: there are many companies out there that view CFMX 7 as "too cheap" at $3k/CPU. They don't think it is serious software so they won't buy it. The increased price actually helps sell to those enterprise companies. And the (frankly) small price hike won't put other enterprises off. If you think enterprise is too expensive, you simply aren't an enterprise company! Hardly any enterprise software costs less than $6k/CPU. Go look at WebLogic and WebSphere (or almost anything from IBM!). Go look at Oracle. Someone pointed at the DataDirect drivers which cost $4k retail - included in CF Enterprise. > That makes no sense what so ever.

No, this thread has 60+ responses already so folks are certainly coming out and saying what they think - and they're mostly not on your side in this discussion because they understand the market better than you do. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284932 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
