Yes, companies spend money on marketing. Yes, brand consistency is nice. But like anything else, marketing budgets are subject to price/performance analysis.You seem to think there's a bottomless pit of money for everything you believe is neglected. That is not the case. I don't have to be in bed with Adobe to defend their actions or to acknowledge that (a) they know their own business better than I do, and (b) rewriting everything in CF might not be the best use of their time and money. Presumably they've made the call that the marketing value they'd get would be less than the time and money they'd spend. Or perhaps the web properties in question are controlled by a different department within Adobe than the one in charge of CF. Like I said already, the ONLY place anyone's ever expressed this concern about Adobe's web sites not all using CF is here, on this list. Presumably, the people on this list don't need to be convinced of the value of CF. I'm not an Adobe stockholder, so I really don't care if they do decide to rewrite everything in CF - which I think would be a waste of time and money, and a distraction from their actual business. But if I were a manager there, it would probably be a pretty low priority for me.
