Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll

Starting August 20, all Evx development will be done using the Clearcase UCM Project model.
####UCM/Clearcase Upgrade Status

**Summary:**

• The switch to the UCM development model is 8/20/2001
• **We must accelerate the Solaris 7 upgrades

**

• All vobs are now UCM capable (Feature Level 2)
• The software project vob is /vobs/sw_projects

Starting August 20, all Evx development will be done using
the Clearcase UCM Project model.

All developers must be using Clearcse 4.2 in order to use UCM

In order to run Clearcase 4.2, a node must be running Solaris 7.

The key point here is that any developer whose view storage resides
on a Clearcase 3.2.1 machine **will not be able to use UCM.**

In both San Jose and Westwood, approximately 50% of machines have
been upgraded to Solaris 7 and Clearcase 4.2. That’s 49 machines
in SJ and 71 machines in WW.

This number is just **barely** enough to get us started.

We must make a concerted effort to accelerate the Solaris 7 upgrades
so that developers will be able to use Clearcase 4.2 for evx
development work. To that end I would ask that the various SJ/WW
SysAdmin groups redouble their efforts.

Microsoft plans to rally its field sales force and partners to crush Linux and IBM’s efforts with the competitive operating

system in 2002.

According to a Microsoft memo dated in December, the software giant will unveil a “Linux Insiders” program at the company’s Envision event in January, an expansion of its existing Linux Competitive Champ Program.

Need I say more? It’s obvious that MS is an anti-competetive defacto monopoly that must be brought down. Are you listening Justice Department?
