Microsoft has been aggresively pitching for usage of Team Foundation Server. The VSS population in our organization is pretty huge. I am trying to find the absolute must reasons for the transition. And nothing scares more from the fact that VSS 6.0/ 2005 would go bust in 20XX. THe MSDN site still runs the 2004 update on the roadmap (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302175.aspx)
Can anyone share any pointers on the out of support date for VSS?
Thanks Paritosh
I don’t know if there is any roadmap for VSS (i.e. new versions). But this page says that VSS2005 will be supported until 2016.
BTW: The last update for VSS 2005 that I’m aware of seems to be the 2005 GDR package, which was released in 2007. Although I stopped using SourceSafe at around that time and switched to subversion (never looked back since then).
