[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion and Micrsoft Love.
Heh, the old MS buys Adobe rumour. I'm no legal eagle, but I'd wager that the Department Of Justice and the Consent Decree would have a thing or two to say about that idea, so fear not Peter :0 On 1/30/07, Peter Tilbrook [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was for a time concerned about Microsoft acquiring Macromedia (MM). By then MM had done some smart things with Flash, moved CF to the J2EE platform, etc. But Microsoft have, even since Allaire days, been if not a competitor then at least MM was an acquisition target. All of us old-timers remember the threat year after year (Microsoft acquires Allaire/MM etc). I've been with Allaire, MM and now Adobe for over 11.5 years now (or close enough to it). The Adobe acquisition came out of the blue. And I hated the idea. Am still not convinced (entirely). MM made great guns in involving the developer and end-user community in the pushing forward of the new tech. So far Adobe (with a lot of MM employees) are doing OK. I mean look at the LABS site - a great initiative started by MM. Microsoft is more jam it down your throat. Take it or leave it. Dreamweaver 8 and FlexBuilder 2 are now my primary IDE's. Microsoft's effort take up too much space, too much OS control, and too damn slow. I have enormous respect for ScottyB, yes he is now employed by the enemy, but as far as pushing the conversation to a degree that things will actually happen - best job ever. Microsoft and Adobe are now true competitors in almost every space bar the OS (operating system). Both companies employ some of the smartest and dedicated people on the planet. However they should remain competitors. My heart would stop beating if M$ ever acquired Adobe. If that happens - find a buyer for ColdFusion alone (not easy I realise). -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Coldfusion 8 Beta
I noticed Ray's blog about how his site is now running on Scorpio and using some of the new image tags. Anyone know if the Beta has been released, has anyone here been selected yet?

Just to be clear here, there is no way you could say you were on the beta or not, as anyone who is held by a pretty tight NDA.

[cfaussie] Re: Coldfusion 8 Beta
Tim Buntel recently blogged about where to go to get on the beta. It
is only Alpha at the moment. Ray had special permission to run Scorpio
- I guess Ben Forta could run it to. For the rest of us a big no no.
Scorpio Beta Application is here!
We're finally ready to accept applications from folks interested in
participating in the Scorpio Beta. Please go to
https://prerelease.adobe.com/callout/apply.html?callid={E9F64ADB-DADA-485E-BFFE-60E0D783EBEF}
to apply. You will see a link that says Join Adobe Prerelease Program
Now - follow that and the directions. A word of warning; you will
need to complete a survey that is very design-centric first (the 'your
job' section has options like 'film maker' and 'fashion designer' for
instance). I don't doubt that many of you are fashionable, but few are
likely actual fashion designers. Fear not, following will be the
actual Scorpio survey in which you'll get to discuss your deep love of
CFCs and RDBMSs. We'll notify applicants soon about next steps.
And, no, this does not mean that I'm going to tell you when we're
shipping, or even when the Beta is going to be out... :) Enjoy! Tim
