Do I feel lucky?

Just remembering the movie Clint Eastwood’s Dirty harry. 44 magnum gun which would blow your head clean off. Yeah, any one should say feeling lucky when magnum fired at you and you are alive.

I like to compare Eclipse with magnum which is getting good.… better… best. Which can clean off all other IDEs from market (sorry NetBeans, I love you to be in market so that there will be healthy competition in Open Source). Just for information NetBeans6 has been released. I have not got chance to check.

So far I got WSAD (WebSphere Application Developer) IRAD6 (IBM ‘s Rational Application Developer) and IRAD7 to test and develop applications at work for the first time. So Do I feel lucky to work with the companies who has tie ups with IBM? Ofcourse, I can say BIG YES for these opportunities. Thanks to the companies like. sorry dont want to disclose the names..

Today, I have installed IRAD7 and it looks little faster than old versions. Can you believe websphere server (IBM has integrated with 6.1v) stopped and started faster than old versions. Unlike IRAD6 there are no memory leaks. Can you guess how many CDs... hahaha 10. Yes litterally you need 10 cds minimum to install. That is the main disadvantage. Every company in the world belives in the thin client except IBM.

I will post my observations here while I am testing.
