<rant> Umm... very disappointed that MX does not run on OS X... I was hoping...
At least as a developer platform, if not as a deployment platform. A Mac has some significant advantages for web developers. For example: you can easily and inexpensively run multiple concurrent platforms (Win 9x, Win NT, Win 200, Win MX, Linux, OS X, etc) to test the look and feel of an application in these environments... you can do this all on a machine that costs under $800 and takes up less than15 cubic inches of desk space.... I am told that is no business case for MM to release CFMX for OS X? I read somewhere, that with the release of OS X, overnight, the Apple logo was on more 'nix workstations than any other. Not to mention. that every Mac ships with OS X, integrated: Apache, Java, etc already installed and ready to use (also Perl and pHp). No separate installs, service packs, downloads... it's all there... part of OS X. I got the feeling that maybe MM looked at Apple's WebObjects (WO) as competition (or vice versa)... but then the MM hookup with IBM shows (potentially) how two competitors can cooperate to the benefit of both (and their customers). I think CFMX & WO would integrate nicely (Note, WO, for $700, includes GUI programming/debugging interfaces, and an operational SQL database) Finally, CFMXOSXWO... what a natural for an acronym... it would be on everyones' lips... </rant> Dick ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
