I've got nothing against BD, but personally I find it's a bad idea to deal with two slightly different platforms, whether it's BD and CF or CF7 and CF8 or any other pairing that will inevitably burn you . If your company runs CF7, I'd buy CF7. The server plus the license are in the $50-100/user range if you're really talking about 25-50 users. By most measures that's what, cost of coffee service for a year? :) Basically, running two platforms to "save a little money" in my experience never does. Of course if you've got a CF5 application for the company, then you're running a different version of CF regardless that's just as bad as the BD vs CF (or Railio for that matter) difference and just a likely to burn time/money down the road. One potential piece of your ROI calculation could involve using CF8 on the new development (esp if you're running CF7 in production) and use the new, internal, in-many-ways-less-risky development to get up to speed on the new features/platform before upgrading the main systems to CF8 which could justify both the license and your time. -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288007 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
