Re: Choosing Source Control
Personally I think the problems with sourcesafe are hugely overstated. I used it for years (well over a decade) and never had any significant problem. On the few occasions it did do something unexpected it was invariably because we did somethong wrong (sharing a file between two projects when we thought we'd copied it, for example). If you can get it then it's a good and simple solution. However, it's no longer available for purchase AFAIK. You might still get it through MSDN subscriptions and you can probably pick up second hand boxed copies but I'm pretty sure you can no longer buy a boxed copy from new.
Personally I now use TFS which comes with Visual Studio (not sure which editions though). To buy it as a stand alone is pretty expensive but I did a quick google and it looks like there's an express edition. I assume that's free to use. TFS is capable of ALOT more than source control, it does work load tracking, case management etc. but you can run it in a stripped down configuration that basically works the same as source safe from a user perspective.
