Aarrgghh!!

Scorpio in August?

I don't know if anyone checked out the new Scorpio wallpapers posted by Ben Forta, but in the lower right there is a line "<8 : 2007 >." (See the blue wallpaper .)

I seem to remember reading this speculation somewhere else, but a quick Googling yielded nothing. I think that's a pretty decent sign that Adobe is targeting August for ColdFusion 8. Woohoo. Good news to those of us that want to deploy apps for a new school year.

Either that or they're screwing with us. If that is the case I say: "Shame on you, Tim Buntel. Shame."

ColdFusion, Web Development,

Just making an educated guess, but I would be willing to bet that "8" stands for Scorpio 8, and not the month number. It will be released in 2007, though.

Aarrgghh Guy! I'd buy that, except that other versions of the wallpaper display an 8 and the 2007. This one has an 8, AND the line 8 : 2007.

I think I would have to agree that the 8 is version 8 and that 2007 is the year it was released.

I actually think you might see it before August given it's currrent status.

Could be (August is the 8th month).

I hope it is released well before then though.

8=infinity, sideways. Go figure! Yep, definitely screwing with you... ;)

All I know is that <8:2007/> would never validate ;)

Adobe has said that Scorpio is scheduled to be released this summer. I'd be willing to bet money that it will be announced at CFUnited at the end of June.

I'm thinking CFUnited keynote

Summer = June 21-September 23, for the record :)

Aarrgghh Guy! @Jacob I agree that you they could announce its release date then. But I haven't even seen a public beta of it yet. I feel like June would be really cutting it close.
