My presentation this evening to the Swiss CFUG went really well. Close to 100 attendees (including a couple of members of the press) spent close to 4 hours, first at a reception, and then listening to my ColdFusion MX 7 presentation.

I've actually had lots of different builds running at the same time. Well, last night I made some time to do a clean CFMX7 install, and thankfully...
The original feature matrix posted on the Macromedia ColdFusion page did not adequately explain the differences between ColdFusion MX 7 Standard and ColdFusion MX 7 Enterprise. A new ColdFusion Feature Comparison Matrix is now online (with comparisons back to ColdFusion 5).
