Intergral have announced the new version of FusionReactor with some very interesting and powerful new features. This should go a long way to silencing those folks who felt that Adobe incorporating server monitoring in ColdFusion 8 would kill off products like FusionReactor!

It hurts when I see folks mention how CF8's Server Monitor was or is going to kill Fusion Reactor's business. People who say this have obviously not looked at Fusion Reactor beyond a cursory glance. There are a ton of features in FR that are not available CF8's Server Monitor. Not to mention Adobe says not to run their monitor on a production server for very long given how intensive the monitoring is. FR on the other hand monitors the JVM behind the scenes without an impact to CF8's performance. It can even introspect the JDBC connectivity between CF8 and your database server.
Of course, I'm sure you already know this stuff Sean.. this comment is more for your readers. I highly, highly recommend checking out FR.. it has done wonders at Dealerskins - where I depend on it every day.
@Aaron, running the Adobe monitor in production *is* *fine* - it's just the memory profiling that has a high overhead and shouldn't be used in production. The other settings are perfectly safe to use in production for extended periods of time (we ran the monitor in production at Adobe with everything turned on apart from memory profiling).
But, yes, the monitoring products are quite different (and quite complimentary).
