Aestiva Woos Cold Fusion Users

Torrance, CA

Aestiva announced this week a $200 rebate off the purchase of Aestiva
HTML/OS for former users of Allaire's Cold Fusion.

"We are aggressively wooing users of legacy integration products," stated
Gina Woolfolk, Aestiva sales manager.

Aestiva HTML/OS is a Web development platform known for its superior
scalability, ease of use and portability. Aestiva is focused on Web-centric
computing whereas Cold Fusion is seen primarily as a Windows-centric
company.

"Aestiva's a Web company who doesn't put its eggs in a single proprietary
hardware basket," says Woolfolk.

Aestiva's rebate offer was announced in response to the continued gains
Aestiva has made in attracting former Cold Fusion users. "We call them
converts," says Woolfolk, "They are looking for more straightforward
solutions, and Aestiva gives them that." Aestiva's rebate purchase also
includes a 90-day unconditional money back guarantee.

Aestiva HTML/OS is a fully integrated development environment that includes
a built-in database engine. Unlike Cold Fusion, Aestiva HTML/OS is fully
state-persistent, scalable and distributable. It is a next-generation
product that delivers enterprise power and advanced technologies for a
small-business price.

More importantly to developers, Aestiva HTML/OS eliminates the need for
complex legacy technologies that many companies have built their Web
platforms around. Aestiva's run-anywhere philosophy is more in line with
the promise of the Web than products built around proprietary platforms
such as Microsoft. Aestiva's products run on Unix, Linux and Macintosh
hardware, as well as Windows.

Aestiva users can develop commercial Web-based software built with HTML/OS,
and know that their products can be distributed almost anywhere on the Web,
even in standard shared hosting accounts. Aestiva's NET-anywhere initiative
was designed to empower Web developers by giving them the tools to build
run-anywhere Web-based products.

Aestiva believes the rebate offer will be welcomed by developers looking
for an alternative to complex, integration-based development and the
limitations of proprietary platforms.
