Installing ColdFusion MX and .NET on the same Server
When installing CFMX and .NET to be on the same computer, Chris White pointed out on CF-Talk today that problems often occurr when .NET is installed before ColdFusion MX. Problems can occurr in both ColdFusion and .NET. Chris recommends the following installation path:

• Install IIS
• Apply IIS Security Fix
• Install ColdFusion MX
• Install .NET Framework

eXcelon - Java C++ Data Management
I came across eXcelon today, they have some interesting products. ObjectStore is a server that can be accessed in Java or C++ as an Object Oriented Database, or as a "Data Server" (as an abstraction of your RDBMS database). They also have a XML database product called XIS, supports XQuery, etc.
