Consider yourself flamed.  :-)

My experience with VSS was that it "did not work".  We actually had a person in one of 
our offices who
was responsible for "maintaining VSS" - this wasn't their only job of course, but it
consumed a great deal of their time.  Our team was working on a separate unrelated 
module of 
the project and were using CVS as the repository.  I don't think that we had to do 
anything
as far as maintainence was concerned, just regular backups to tape (but that should be 
done
regardless).

The other problem we had with VSS was trying to use remote access.  We had another 
project
that we were collaborating on - several thousand files.  It would take hours
to check out the project and this was over a T1.  Through weeks of lobbying we were 
able to 
convince our colleagues to switch to CVS.  Check out times came down a few minutes. 
They have never looked back.

Just my $0.02.

Regards,
Pete.
