Seriously, Adobe own CF, they can do what they want, everyone else is attempting to copy this. If NA go off and add new features, they can't expect Adobe to copy them, that makes no sense.
I don't think there is enough of a market to support so many clones getting any decent market share.

Nobody could argue that NA haven't made every reasonable effort to ensure compatibility between BlueDragon and CFMX - as you point out, that's the business they're in. But when Adobe willingly breaks compatibility with BlueDragon by implementing a BD feature in a non-compatible manner, i think it is biased to claim that NA is responsible for resolving the resulting incompatibility. Most of us get upset when Microsoft abuses its dominant market position like this, i for one fail to see how Adobe is any different in this case. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:301052 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
