I last administered CC in around 2000/2001. To me the most impressive 
thing (aside from dynamic views) was clearmake's ability to "wink" in 
binaries that have been compiled in someone else's view (i think winking 
is the correct term... I'm getting a bit rusty now).

I agree with the earlier comment about CC being only good on Solaris, 
this was the indirect impression I had from Rational's tech support... 
we were using it on Tru64 and found a rather serious bug - it only took 
Rational 2 years to acknowledge and (i believe eventually) fix it!.

Yes, we had users complaining about performance as well, even when we 
had high end servers, not all that many users (max of 25 licenses?) and 
seperate view and vob servers.
