Beating Free Software

I thought this was an interesting read: We Don’t Use Software That Costs Money Here from Coding Horror.

It won’t be easy for commercial software or subscription websites. If past history is any indication, beating the free alternatives is going to get progressively more difficult every year.

Thought it was very relevant with all the discussion going on regarding Open Blue Dragon. It will be interesting to see if OpenBD “rocks the boat” any in the CFML community. Or will it go largely ignored like the Smith and Railo projects? Or will those projects see a renewed interest? How will Adobe respond?

Interesting times indeed!
