Nice little round-up that - it missed one wee fact that UNIX people may
be interested in. ColdFusion (as of App Server v4.5) is now natively
coded for UNIX (Solaris, Linux, and HP-UX) whereas previously you could
only get a Linux stub (don't ask, it was painful and you still needed an
NT backend server) and both Solaris & HP-UX ran on top of a virtual
Win32 registry (thus they were painfully slow & fell over with only a
few connections). Now with the native UNIX re-coding expect to see
performance as good (or better *grin*) as the NT version, except with
the added stability of decent OS under the bonnet. An excellent
commercial product.
