texte = FWIW - there is a saying "no answer is an answer". Oh, sure sure, SMSI needs to keep some info quiet. But there is a different risk, that is the risk of customers jumping ship because of a perceived lack of product development. They say it costs 10-50x* to acquire a new customer as to keep one. That being said, As much as I love WebDNA, it looks like both WebDNA and WebSTAR have become EOL. Therefor I am slowly switching over to ColdFusion and RoR. Coldfusion is 80% webdna (seriously, go take a look, you already know this language) and RoR just looks so damn efficient (from a coding side, I bet it's super huge computationally expensive.) The plus side for the alternatives, I get to get out for the website hosting business, woot! Let someone else worry about hackers, and server uptime. Have you seen how cheap hosting is these days? Anyway, that's my two cents. Every day that Kerio and SMSI don't talk, is another day closer to the transition. Brian B.
