At one point, I believe Microsoft was using a modified Perforce server for source code. Is that completely gone now?



Most of the large Source Depot users have moved to Git or, like Windows, are in the process of moving to Git. Legacy stuff will probably live on in SD for a long time, possibly forever, for maintenance work.


You are thinking of Google.


I meant that Google was the company who used Perforce in the past, and not Microsoft. Google isn't using it anymore either; they switched to their own thing named Piper.

SD was based on a very old Perforce as well.
