There is a review in the Aug 31rst edition of Open Systems Today on page #6, which is his (Jason Levitt's) "First Impression" from an interactive demo. As it was a demo, the review doesn't really answer your request, but it will give you more info than you'd get from the ads. For hands-on experience yourself, you can get a reduced functionality demo version by calling (800) 647-8333 or +1 415 336 4567. The main demo constraint is that conferences are limited to 10 minutes in duration. If you like it, Sun and various VARs will be happy to sell you the complete package. Though some of the design was limited by an aggressive schedule, there are many areas where we put in features that reflected our best guess on building a tool that would work well for multiple users and in conjunction with existing tools. We welcome all comments & criticism, and hope that people find ShowMe to be of use.
