My company has finally decided to upgrade from Visual C++ version 6 to
Visual Studio 2008.

Is there a newer version scheduled for release anytime soon?

What source code version control should we use? Is SourceSafe good? Are
there alternatives that people would recommend for a small company with
only a few developers?

With SourceSafe are there any concerns or things we should know from the
start?

Yes: Visual Studio 2010, to be launched on March 22, 2010:

SVN with TortoiseSVN or Git?

Those are my two current choices, but VS 2010 comes with Team Foundation
Server (TFS) Basic which replaces SourceSafe (SourceSafe is no longer
included with Visual Studio 2010):

I use SourceSafe, but others like systems like subVersion. I have no strong feelings, but
others do, and like subVersion features.

I;ve had no problems. Many of the limitations, however, seem to annoy other people with
large development teams. The ability to use it over a network (remote development sites)
has been said to cause problems, but I've used a couple different products (one of my
clients has his source on a server in Oklahoma, for example) that work with SourceSafe and
we've had no problems, but we have only three developers on the project.

The machine on which I do the work has been turned off for six months, so I don't recall
the name of the product. But google "SourceSafe remote" and you will get several products
displayed, which can tell you why they think they are better than SourceSafe.
