ColdFusion has more than a decade of market exposure. Re-branding any
product is very costly proposition. I am not suggesting that Abode
stop spending money to market ColdFusion, merely that re-branding a
well known product is waste of money and time, and would likely lose
more customers than
Apologies. My phrasing here is misleading. 100% my fault.
I knew about CF being free for education, but dreamweaver, flash,
photoshop, illustrator, are not. This was the complaint I was hearing
from my educational colleagues.
Again, I apologize for my miscommunication.
The class on CF I was
Windows nn - Windows nn = still sucks. Although I hear Windows 7 sucks
less :)

Of course, one downside to that (from the company's standpoint) is once they
announce the name, they're kind of locked into a timeline. So, they may
release a buggier version of ColdFusion 2011 just to get it out before the
end of 2011 rather than having to release CF2011 in 2012 or having to
