Hi,
Just a quick comment: you should probably consider looking at the 'open'
PHP as a more progressive alternative to the proprietary Cold Fusion.
PHP is 'cross-platform friendly' to the best of my knowledge, and just
surpassed the 'being used on 5 million websites' mark quite recently.

See http://www.php.net for more info.

HTH,
Raymond
