No, we don't use the UCM (Unified Change Management) features - and they do sound like they add an unnecessary layer of complexity...would be interesting to hear from anyone that does use UCM features...
We have ~250 developers working on the same codebase at three sites around the world and ClearCase has proved extremely reliable. Some developers don't like the flexibility that the tool provides (tagging/branching/ triggers/directory elements etc) but once familiar with the concepts other tools just seem limiting.
We have a dedicated admin guy at each of the sites and they seem pretty happy managing it...mind you they're pretty experienced with the system.
I've only really used rcs/cvs and SourceSafe but I just can't imagine those tools scaling to the demands that we put on ClearCase!
Cheers,
Matt

CVS is aging, and SVN is taking over. Take a peek at http://subversion.tigris.org.
And http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org for a nice client.

CVS is stale, but CVSNT is taking over and it is likely that it will have all the "killer features" of SVN sooner than SVN will get stable enough to be of any use. Take a peek at www.cvsnt.org[^]

Missing option
IMHO it's way better and less intrusive than VMWare...
Anyone else use Virtual PC[^]?

I've heard quite the opposite - that VMWare is better and faster than VirtualPC. But I haven't used VPC, so I can't make my own judgement.
What do you mean by "intrusive"? I've found VMWare to be anything but intrusive... so long as you have enough RAM...

I mean that VMWare install a couple of services that always runs, it install network adapters, and when I stop the services, I get those "network cable unplugged" icons in the tray.
Those things bugs me.
Virtual PC only install a driver you can attach to a netcard, but otherwise it's a normal tray-program. When I exit Virtual PC it's closed, and not all kinda services running like VMWare...
And believe me, I have worked with both, and Vortual PC is a lot faster with Windows, it runs Linux a bit slower than VMWare...

From the poll, it looks like you're the only one that has those opinions.
I have never worried about the services or network adapters VMWare installs. Why should I? IF they don't crash the system or slow things down too much, I don't care.

A place I worked we played Counter Strike friday afternoon, every friday, but we had to stop the VMWare services to get Counter Strike to connect to the server.
That kinda things bugs me...

Absolutely! VPC is much faster than VMWare for actually running the Virtual OS...installing it takes forever...but once that's over, you've got it made.

Yes, 50% of our development team are Mac users outside work so Virtual PC was the "obvious" choice. However, i haven't used VMWare, so can't make a comparison.

I wish I had a license for the Professional Machete. Maybe it could help me cut development times.

Yeah, is there anything ABOVE MSDN Universal? Not everyone can even afford MSDN Universal...

Well, they figure that since the pizza guy/girl is going to get ripped off anyway, why bother getting there first?

I had that same thought. Then I thought about it and figured 'above' may be referring to the two entries above this entry.

What was originally MSDN Universal was mean to be MSDN Prof or above but the 'Universal' bit got stuck. Sorry for the confusion.

Perhaps Microsoft Certified Partner should be above MSDN Universal.
But actually, it costs LESS than MSDN Universal, and has a 5 user MSDN license with it.. as well as technet, etc etc.
