From: Tom Serface on 15 Dec 2009 18:34 I found this to be really good news. It's likely the only way they can finally get some, like me, from using VSS in the long run. I think it's a good, and generous move.

From: Tom Serface on 15 Dec 2009 18:37 My biggest problem with VSS is that it feels like it has to redraw the list controls on the screens (including updating all of the file status) every time you do just about anything (like right click for a menu or scroll or ....) On a local system this is slow enough, but on VPN it is intolerable. I use SourceSafe Anywhere when I need to use VSS since it works in a client server mode that doesn't have the same stupid behavior. I could sometimes wait for 3 or 4 minutes just for a screen refresh. SourceSafe Anywhere is a great product and works wonderfully for me sort of giving me my life back since I work mostly remote.

I have to use Perforce, and still waiting when it catches up with SourceSafe on usability... Almost there, but it still can't show the history of revisions combined with labels, and is still using the ugly client spec system, which is a pain to maintain if several people are working on the same project. And God forbid if you want to get a particular revision into an arbitrary folder; no can do...
