Terry Ryan, Adobe ColdFusion (Platform) Evangelist, recently published a blog post as an answer to ColdFusion deniers, you can read it here.

As an addition to this very good post I would like to add the following link to Mike Brunt's post about ColdFusion 9 and 48.000 Concurrent Users.

Title says it all.  You can download it from here.

I also recommend you read the FAQ for 9.0.1 and download the release notes.

What's included in the ColdFusion 9 Update 1?
The following are the top features in this release:

• ORM support for multiple data sources
• Amazon S3 support
• Support for IIS 7
• New script functions implemented as CFCs
• Support for BlazeDS 4 and LCDS 3
• Configurable seed for password encryption 
• Server monitoring enhancements to handle load conditions

In addition, there are some enhancements related to Language, Caching, Ajax, SpreadSheet, Solr, and Logging and scores of bug fixes.

You can read the details of what's new in the updater here.

Now let me answer the most common question I had about the updater's installation :

If I buy a new copy of ColdFusion 9 today, will I still need to install the update?
Yes. ColdFusion 9 Update 1 is not part of the latest ColdFusion 9 installer. One has to download relevant ColdFusion 9 Update Installer and apply it on existing ColdFusion 9 Installation.

Can I download a version of ColdFusion 9 that already includes the update?
No. Adobe does not plan to ship a full installer for ColdFusion 9 Update1.
