I too have purchased the Miro version. It didn't work with the opensource contributions, so eventually I became immersed in the opensource version.

This local company that charges $35,000 for their ASP based CMS is rather interesting. They have also charged similar amounts for their shopping cart and e-commerce solution. They are charging clients huge dollars for skinning OS commerce and stripping off the OScommerce credits on the page (but leaving them intact in the php code). I laugh when I read thier ads stating they have spent years 'developing' this solution.....more like years reading oscommerce's forums.

I like the idea of a forum where one can discuss commercial application of Mambo. There is a few folks here in this thread who are endorsing Mambo to their clients, and in some cases (like mine) it forms the core of the web site. It might be interesting to form an 'opensource' collective of commercial users to discuss how to better serve our clients. In fact, it might be an interesting brain trust and pooling of talent so each of us can take on bigger corporate entities locally. Like you said, its hard to compete against the corporate shop when you are just a one or two man shop. Who knows, it even may have helped head off a 'Furthermor' situation had it existed.

Hmmm, I've got a spare domain name registered...and its perfect for this application.......Don't want to hijack this thread,
