Maybe, maybe not. I don't think I mentioned a "master plan". What I did mention, was that they have a better vantage point on their own business than you or I do. They've almost certainly done more market research on their business than you or I have - I don't know about you, but I haven't done any. If they don't have a master plan, maybe you should be happy - if they did, it would probably involve one of their other products. Again, Adobe has a LOT of server products. CF is just one among many. > Here, let me fill in your responses: I can do that too: "I know so much about marketing from my experience with small/midtier companies in completely different lines of business that I can accurately make a cost-benefit analysis without any background information other than my own wild-ass guesses." That's kind of fun!
