I'm actually rather intrigued by Microsoft's entry into this space and so
far I like what I've heard from both their RM and Systems folk. I think
their product is much more user friendly than some of the big names in a
arena, and while it may not be as robust as the competition it may well
define a certain level of expected RM integration when using the MS Suite.
It's not a Cadillac, but it sure will get a lot of people on the road (who
will then be asking we RMs for directions)

Surprised they didn't decide to buy someone elses or just start using it
and
claim it was theirs to begin with =)

Yeah, well anyway, it may be getting a lot of press and it might be on a
lit
of people's desktops soon ( for free as a part of Office 2007 and all IF M$
is ever able to get THAT or VISTA out!) but I think there's a lot of smoke
and mirror work going on in the forefront.

From all I've seen, and comments I've heard from the unwashed who have
played around with the beta "RM" is a REAL misnomer for this puppy... it's
DM at best, with some potential backroom rules that add in some RM
capabilities.

And from the chatter I've seen on the blog, I wouldn't be surprised if you
asked some hard questions to hear answers like "Oh... there's a DIFFERENCE
between DM and RM?"

Yeah...not a big fan of Micro$loth, not expecting to see this "solution"
change my thoughts about that!!
