With Monday's official release of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 toolkit, IBM is making a reversal of sorts and delivering <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1882690,00.asp">a new version of its SCM tools</A> for Visual Studio 2005 customers. IBM officials said the company would make its IBM Rational ClearCase and IBM Rational ClearQuest software configuration management tools available for Visual Studio 2005 customers by the end of this week. The move is significant in that it beats Microsoft at providing SCM tools of its own for the team development version of its new development platform: Visual Studio 2005 Team System, IBM officials noted.
