texte = > If WebDNA 8 sells well, we will build a fastCGI version> of WebDNA for Windows.It would be really wonderful if WebDNA 8 sells like gangbusters.But even if it does, I think you should abandon Windowspermanently for these reasons:1- The market share for Windows servers continue to decrease asLinux server use increases, so why stretch your finances to getinto something that's already dying?2- WSC has never produced a Windows version since they bought thesoftware from SmithMicro many years ago, so no one expects you tostart supporting Windows again now.3- The money you might have spent on a Windows version can be usedto improve the existing Linux versions, or for marketing, or foralmost anything more economically prudent than a new Windows version.Obviously the three of you who still use Windows servers mightdisagree with me here, and that's your choice. I'm just statingmy opinion about this because I think it makes sense.Regards,Kenneth GromeWebDNA Solutionshttp://www.webdnasolutions.comWeb Database Systems and Linux Server Management
