While all the focus on version control over the past few years has been on Team Foundation Server, it is important to remember our old friend Visual Sourcesafe still exists and is still being used by many teams around the globe.

An update is now available for Visual Sourcesafe 2005 to allow you to continue using it seamlessly with the recently released Visual Studio 2008. This update is freely available for all licensed users of Visual Sourcesafe. They’ve been busy with this upgrade as it also includes support for Vista as well as a rollup of 64 VSS bugs.

The update is available here and all the news can be found on Richard Berg’s blog post

After downloading so many 1Gb+ ISO’s over the past few weeks (VSTS2008/TFS2008 ect) it is so nice to find this is only 3.5Mb 🙂
