How does Perforce compare to Team Foundation Server (TFS). Here at work, we have used Perforce (Which I like very much btw) exclusively. On the other hand, I’m sorry I have never used TFS. I’m interested in TFS though, however I cannot make a judgement call as to the difference.
What are the advantages of using each over the other?
Hmm. I’ve joined stackoverflow just because of your question.
I have never used Perforce, though I have heard nice things about it, and therefore I’m not qualified to compare the two, or to really answer your question. However, I have used TFS source control (currently) and Subversion (in the past) and while I really liked the power+simplicity of the latter, I have developed a distaste for the former.
Here are a couple of places that talk about some of the negative aspects and frustrations of TFS source control:

Of course, TFS is more than just source control, and the work items, reporting and project tracking features are nice.
