So keep on developing and host with somebody else, or let you customers buy a license if they need to run their own server.Also you have missed, but as Phil already pointed out, the price of $4000 is for the Enterprise Edition. You guys are always saying you donıt need this and that, well then get the Developer for free or the Partner Edition. No one has said you have to get the Enterprise Edition.I am actually tired of this complaining. If you are in business for real then costs like this are normal. At least I donıt hear anybody complaining about Cold Fusion's pricing matrix, which is actually steep if you need more then just the language. But still there are tones of CF solutions.For years I have read on this list that there is no Marketing, that the developers are not listening and that the price is to high. Now SMSI is listening to us, they are trying to do some Marketing and they came down with the price.The amazing thing is, that you guys are still whining about it. I would suggest that you sit back and look at the economy for a moment and then rethink.Sincerely, Nitai Aventaggiato CEO-- Tools to energize your business Content Management & eBusiness SystemsComputerOil GmbH http://computeroil.com/ Unionstrasse 4 info@computeroil.com 8032 Zürich/Switzerland Tel: +41 (0)43 333 1 555 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
