Anyone switching vendors should always think carefully about all aspects of the transition. I would expect people to run a test server and see how the software behaved and, if there are issues, raise them politely on the appropriate list and perhaps create issues in the vendor's bug tracker (since all three CFML vendors have open public bug trackers now). Some people have very reasonable expectations of compatibility and response times. Others do not. Some people understand the commercial value of a support agreement, others see no need to buy maintenance and support (and then some of those folks bitch loudly when issues don't get addressed immediately for free!). There are pros and cons - trade offs - in any technology choice... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
