Question

Standard version left behind on 64-bit support

How come 64-bit support is only available for the enterprise version?
I shelled out a lot of money for various versions of Cold Fusion standard but now I feel ripped off.
64-bit support has been slow to come on CF and is not even available unless you're an enterprise customer.

What gives?

    In the past, it has usually been because the licensing costs to Adobe
    nee Macromedia nee Allaire from a 3rd party vendor is prohibitively
    expensive to allow the feature in the standard edition.

    That is the story with the Oracle database driver at least.

    The following still run as 32-bit in the enterprise edition:
    DataDirect Drivers, Verity Search functionality, and ColdFusion .Net integration.

    With that said they should have included the 32-bit version of any 3rd-party driver where the cost is an issue, Adobe would explained why and we would understand. Instead they chose a path where they seem greedy.
