Hmm, that wasn't my intent.  I like Perforce a lot.  I used it
for my personal development before joining MS and would use it
again immediately if I were not at MS.

The tool we use internally was developed to help the Windows and
Office teams deal with version control / SCM issues.  Given the
size of those teams, scalability and large depots are important.
Oddly enough, those aspects are important to games too. :)

Actually, many teams within MS use SourceSafe.  It is all a matter
of scale. =20
