They have to support_both_in the same products and let the developer decide
which middleware they prefer to use for an application. This isn't a religious
crusade that these companies are embarking on - it's a proper joint commercial
venture where they_have_to address the entire market and maximise revenues and
profits for those which they answer to - their shareholders.
I always use CF over ASP right now wherever possible - it isn't always possible.
And then there is the new generation of ASP for M$.NET - Macromedia_have_to
support that or fail.
There have been occasions when I could have done with running ".asp" templates
inside "cfm" templates. And then their is Jrun - assuming some people think
there is a future in that somewhere.
Macromedia should not look at CF, ASP or M$ in isolation - they should say - we
are going to be the biggest and best network software development company out
there bar none, and we will let the industry and our customers determine what we
need to offer to achieve that objective.
The ultimate winner will be us - the developers.
