hmm, i'm in a similar situation. we currently have CVS and VSS and want
to change both. we have two choices: Subversion or Visual Studio Team
System 2005 (currently in Beta). the latter includes among other things
a *quality* version control system that MicroSoft does indeed use
themselves.
A few of my colleagues worked on a project with MicroSoft people in the
UK a couple of years back - they used CVS, not VSS.
