  Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Roadmap
Time: 00:11 EST/05:11 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

The Microsoft Developer Tools Roadmap, was created to help development organizations more effectively plan their future investments in Microsoft technologies and tools. In addition to the development tools roadmap, this document was created to focus specifically on version control technology and on the upcoming directions of Visual SourceSafe®. For development organizations whose needs go beyond version control, or for larger teams who require a more robust source-code control system based on SQL Server 2005 in the backend, Microsoft has recently announced Visual Studio Team Foundation, which addresses the broader software configuration management (SCM) needs of development organizations seeking a complete suite of enterprise software development life-cycle tools. Please read Visual Studio 2005 Team System: Enterprise-Class Source Control and Work Item Tracking for more details

It's nice that Microsoft is finally addressing this failing. We've been struggling with SourceSafe for quite some time, and finally went out looking for alternatives.

We've essentially arrived at selecting Borland's StarTeam. It adds a lot of functionality, without losing much in the way of usability...

But these tools in this range... Clearcase, MKS, Dimensions, Accurev, StarTeam, are like $2500-5000/seat which I find to be on the excessive range. So it'll be nice to see Microsoft enter this market and push down prices.

Or maybe. It's hard to sya. The Team Foundation stuff they talk about is supposedly going to cost some money. It won't be a giveaway like old Sourcesafe.
