We've been using it for about 18 months now to power our widget designer. One of the main advantages for me is the debugger, it's eclipse and you can just step through you client side code exactly like your server side code.

Executives tend to get judged (and paid bonuses) on how efficently they run thier businesses. One way of doing this is to keep costs down. One way of keeping costs down is not giving your minions pay rises.
This especially true in jobs where supply outstrips the demand.
I'm not a big fan of the recording industry but consider this... Record companies spend money creating a prodcut. The product consists of the actual CD, and the "image" attached to it. The image your buying into maybe "I young hip and cool" or "I'm a rebel". This image costs companies money to develop.
So in this case the record companies have invested money in the UK and Ireland to develop said image, while they may not have in Hong Kong. Should the customer be charged for the cost of developing "image "?
What were seeing with CDWow here is the record indusrty trying to mantain this system. Without the sales in the UK to finace the "image" the "image" will tarnish and sales will go down and the "image" will tarnish...
Should the companies jack up the prices world wide to cover this? Would the market in Hong Kong support this higher price?
