{{quoteblockquote|Microsoft itself used an internally developed version of RCS named SLM until 1999, when it began using a version of [[Perforce]] named SourceDepot.}}

The Microsoft Developer Division was using [[Team Foundation Server]] for most of its internal projects,<ref>{{cite book

Line 98:

At the same time, [[Microsoft]] also introduced a source control called [[Team Foundation Version Control]] (TFVC), which was part of project lifecycle management product [[Visual Studio Team System]]. This product addresses many of the shortcomings of Visual SourceSafe, making it suitable for larger teams requiring high levels of stability and control over activities.

With [[Visual Studio 2010]], Microsoft no longer distributes Visual SourceSafe. Microsoft now offers Team Foundation Server Basic for smaller development teams.<ref>{{cite web|last=Krill |first=Paul |url=http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/microsoft-looks-move-sourcesafe-users-newer-technology-983 |title=Microsoft looks to move SourceSafe users to newer technology &#124; Developer World |publisher=InfoWorld |date=2009-09-30 |access-date=2012-04-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302175.aspx |title=Visual SourceSafe Road Map |date=22 March 2011 |publisher=Msdn2.microsoft.com |access-date=2012-04-13}}</ref> There iswas a [hotfix so existing customers could use SourceSafe with Visual Studio 2010.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB976375 hotfix]|title= soKB976375 existing- SourceSafeTFS: customersVSS can use SourceSafeintegration with VisualDev10 Studio|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100416184257/http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB976375 |archive-date=2010.-04-16}}</ref>
