>the kudo's of the software.

Sorry, but this one really brings out the pedant in me, even more so than lose/loose:

"Kudos" means, and I quote Webster, "Glory; fame; renown; praise". It is NOT the plural of "kudo". Even if is were, it would still not have an apostrophe.

Now I've got that off my chest, I agree, Homesite is invariably quoted as being far-and-away the market leader in this market, but it is the application development language market, ie. CF which will make or break Allaire. I'd like to see the breakdown between the two products in terms of sales and growth, but the filing does at least indicate 20,000 copies of Cold Fusion sold against 80,000 of Homesite.

Fez et al,

An additional item that lends credibility (at least to me) is that their board of directors includes M. Kapor who founded Lotus. He knows firsthand what it's like to propel a company to success and then sell out. True, he became complacent and let MSFT eat his lunch, but IBM bought them out at a nice price never the less.
