I agree too, cost is high.
CF8 Server is $1299.00 full, and upgrade is $649.00 Visual Studio Pro 2008 $799.00 - Upgrade: $499.00 So, are we looking at Q3 for the full release? I'll be interested to see what the new features are, and test the beta. Good work Phil!

The server cost is still a bit high. The strength of WiTango is the studio. It would be great if it could export php code. Nonetheless, this is a good breakthrough and hope to see the community grow.

I think the studio price is spot on. I still think the server should be sub 1000, but just my opinion. Good to see the change to one machine license.
