ColdFusion vs ASP NET

Hi: I don't have a link but I've worked with CF for a while and have a couple of very good reasons why migrating to CF is a good move: Microsoft's software is not sound, they do so many upgrades because of deffects and total lack of quality control ( Windows Vista is a good example). Therefore MS will have a smaller role in the future of web applications/platforms (or even dissapear). Adobe on the other hand is a very solid software producer, even before they bought Cold Fusion from Macromedia, Cold Fusion proved to be a robust web development environment. Now that Cold Fusion has been merged with Adobe apps (PDF, Photoshop features, etc), plus the capabilty to manage AJAX apps, etc. CF is now like a one stop shop for all kind of web apps. ASP runs in windows servers only, CF can (and should as any serious web develepmoent environment) run in Linux servers. There are plenty of web hosting services that offer Cold Fusion. So you can outsource the server's connection/maintance and develop and test new apps before actually buying the server. CF syntax is very simple. Any ASP programmer can learn it right away, in your specific case, the programmers who wrote the legacy ASP could "tanslate" the code. Personally, I hired a ASP jr programmer and tought him the basics and asked him to read the manual, he told me coding was a lot simpler and faster in CF and started programming in CF withing a week. There are several big name websites using CF: The Economist, Myspace, etc (you know how to tell when an app is developed in CF). Luis F. Cox Hello, A client asked what the advantages are to CF over ASP.NET.  He has a legacy ASP website.  Can anyone suggest any links in support of CF? Thanks. Joe
