But I do not agree on the comment about VSS. I have seen it being used at my internship. I had my own code branch which wasn''t inside the VSS database so I never got to work with it. But I never heard of any problems with VSS. If I would have to make a corporate decision, where everyone was inside the same office, I would run VSS anyway. But I use Microsoft products for almost anything(As long as those products are available ofcourse).
MS is pretty much ditching VSS. They have never used it internally for major projects - it was unable to scale to the requirements. Instead they used a custom version of Perforce.
VSS has been the laughing stock of the whole version control community for a long time - that''s how bad it is. See this page for some testimonials about VSS: http://www.wadhome.org/svn_vs_vss.txt
