Walk into just about any shop that uses java and you'll probably see a bunch of people coding on Windows boxes. But it's doubtful you'll see their apps running on MS platforms. Every company I've worked with has had this same setup. That's a pretty straightforward example of using java's cross platform capabilities.
Well, he didn't word it very well, but his meaning was pretty clear to me. He uses a local CVS server for his own activities, but will not be setting up a public server of any sort for other people to use.
We're () actually offering a service as an ASP that is partially based upon Tivoli's helpdesk system. We had to add some functionality to it, but our service, which includes system inventory management, virus management, remote management, and server/network monitoring, among other things) is pretty damn cool (I came here because I was impressed with the ambition of the project) and is being offered to mid-tier companies as a Tivoli partner.
ACtually, this system does exist on their webPC line. It's powered by software made by Motive (). I helped work on park of a contract to set up the a similar service to be offered by Compaq, also using Motives system.
Unfortunately, there are some flaws in their service. I won't go into it here, but it's not necessarily cost effective.
However, I'm now working for a company (> that offers a web-based systems management service to mid-sized companies. Yeah, it's not exactly free, but it's a pretty cool service if I do say so myself and it offers a pretty cool helpdesk system as part of the product (along with software and hardware inventory control, virus management and remote management).
Sorry, I guess I sound like a commercial, but I came to this company because as a former IT person, it sounded like a pretty cool thing to do...
