Thanks Scott,
I am overall very happy with the responses, makes me confident that ColdFusion will have a strong take up, that not everyone is changing technologies and that people with ColdFusion skills can earn a decent living. Thanks to everyone who took part also, really wasn't sure on number of responses I would get. I also thought that Java would be higher percentage than .NET but I would be in the .NET boat so I can understand why people would pick it. As for the side debate on pricing, I think it's off topic a bit to this discussion, obviously a large % of people don't care as they are Yes for upgrade, myself included.

I found it interesting that 6% would move to .NET rather then Java? Personally I moved to .NET because of job oppurtunities and I'm more of a visual developer then a server-side on these days, but it was a 50/50 at one stage between .NET and Java.. I honestly thought the bulk of the "Move away" would end up Java?
