My first question would be - if you have decided on CVS did you already consider Subversion ( http://subversion.tigris.org/ ) ? Its basically a rewritten CVS with a lot of the kinks ironed out. Many CVS sites are migrating to subversion and sourceforge will be introducing support for it next year. However if you have decided on CVS - its relatively simple to migrate across later and still preserve all your history.We have decided to go away from Microsoft Visual Source Safe and use CVS.
Is there more than one implementation of the CVS client and server, if so which one
for a MS windows shop ?
Its kinda off-topic for the nant list but here goes.
Thanks and sorry if this question is inappropriate.
For a MS shop - cvsnt ( http://www.cvsnt.com/cvspro/ ) used to be the way to go and probably still is. You can install it as a service and use windows network authentication with it.
As for clients you can use either:
1) the commandline client ( from https://www.cvshome.org/ )
since you're migrating from source safe you'd probably prefer a gui so either :
2) tortoisecvs - a windows explorer extension for cvs http://www.tortoisecvs.org/
3) WinCvs - a repository browser style of gui ( http://www.wincvs.org/ )
personally I find tortoise to be the best client - its simple to use and understand - but others may feel differently.
you might also find the following link useful - a guide to setting up a cvs server on windows.

the cvsnt site also has some useful guides and references.
