  Microsoft Loses .NET Ally Rational to IBM
Time: 11:01 EST/16:01 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Rational Software Corp is joining Big Blue's stable of industry leaders-turned-business units after IBM announced its $2.1bn acquisition of the application modeling and design specialist. IBM announced the planned acquisition Friday of its application and Web services partner Rational, based in Lexington, Massachusetts, in a deal many believe will hurt Microsoft Corp rather than IBM's many Java rivals. IBM said it plans to merge Rational's business operations, products and 3,400 employees into the IBM software group, where Rational will become IBM's fifth brand, alongside Lotus, DB2, Tivoli and WebSphere.

It'll be interesting to see if Rational drops their support for Visual Studio...

If they do, they'll lose most of their customer base. However, I think we all know if Microsoft had bought Rational it's guaranteed they would have dropped Java support.

I don't think anything will change any time soon. IBM has always supported this new .NET initiative. They were one of the major sponsers of the first PDC on .NET.

Good luck to IBM! I use couple of Rational's products at work. It's a piece of crap to say the least. It's pain-in-the-### and huge waste of time. We call it irRational for reasons.

oh, yeah purchase this company and give away the good for free (interesting).

I view this more as IBM enhancing their service offering.

At my last company we investigated purchasing a rational package. But then the 100k+ plus the 5K per use license price tag scared us away. After some consideration we decided that the current version of visio met our needs.

How many many small dev shops/companies actually purchase rational anyway?


#5 By 7826 (65.205.133.2) at 12/9/2002 2:56:56 PM
Not many small company can afford rational. My company spent about half million dollars on the rational products. After $500k, we found ourselves have to spend at least one day each week just to keep the stuff synhronized while we only need 1-hour before the 'upgrade'. Needlessly to say, the person who promote the use of irRational products got fired. Ever wonder why big companies like IBM are so slow to roll out new software or updates? They all use Rational products.

bas, for starters Microsoft and IBM compete in collaboration servers (Exchange vs. Lotus Notes/Domino) and databases (SQL Server vs. DB2).

<Satire>
Intel releases the P5 while IBM releases a Pentium 1 comparable processor. Kudos to them!

#11 - Ok... we get it... you're either an incredibly ignorant Apple fanboy or an anoying troll... or both.

Either way, you're not adding to our conversations, so please go away.

#9 By 2332 (65.221.182.3) at 12/10/2002 1:09:14 AM
#15 - What the hell is wrong with you? I've intelligently defended my position countless times, and each and every time you ignore my responses and continue on with your mindless drivel.

Hell, in one of your last posts, you compared objective C to .NET... come on! Have you ever written a SINGLE line of code?

And where is your evidence that IBM will be supplying processors that are equal to that of Pentiums? (I'm gonna go out on a limb here are guess that, as usual, you have NONE!)

Can you name a single Intel processor that has EVER competed with Intel, or AMD for that matter? Can you cite a SINGLE benchmark of any developer CPUs that show this potential? Can you cite a study that suggests that if Apple's machines where faster, they would gain significant market share?

This is why I call you a fanboy/ignorant. Because you are. You throw comments out there that have no substance and whose only purpose is to get people annoyed with you. You have NO interest in intelligent conversation... and I'm willing to bet you also don't have the ability, otherwise you would spend your time more wisely.
