IBM Rational Software Modeler has been a pioneer in UML modeling platform. As early as 2000. Microsoft introduced UML modeling support through V1SI0 2000 but is bringing in support first time in VS2010. The folbwing table provides a summarized view on architecture modeling features for Rational Software Architect and Microsoft VS2010.
