Re: SourceSafe

"Are you sure of that? There's this little product called Team Foundation Server that is really VSS under the hood. Give me Bazaar, Subversion or if necessary Git over it any day."

VSS was discontinued, the last released version was 2005.

Saying that TFS is really VSS under the hood is like saying a proton is a lotus under the hood because some small parts are common.

For a start TFS is not just source control, secondly users can choose a source control provider for TFS (GIT is one of the options)

That aside TFS does include TFSVCS which probably does share some small parts with vss but to say it's the same is plain wrong.
