CVS is Concurrent Versions System. It is a version control system. To
the user, it means that you can always get a copy of the latest source
code of a particular project under development. Each time you update,
only the changes to the code are [compressed and] downloaded, thus
saving bandwidth. To the developer, it helps in merging changes to the
code by different developers, records the history of each source file,
so that any old version of a file can be retrieved. And it provides
the latest sources currently in development to the users^H^H^H^H^H
guinea pigs ;-), who then test it and provide bug reports. CVS
generally streamlines the development of an open source project.

Microsoft is not the answer.
Microsoft is the question.
NO (or Linux) is the answer.
