Ted, I know you wrote the book on SourceSafe (thank you, it helped me
out a great deal back in the day), but can you really honestly recommend
it to people to use for their important work, given that superior, free,
and open source solutions exist, namely Subversion?
SourceSafe just simply has to be the biggest pile of crap to ever come
out of Redmond.

There's a single-user mode that requires no server. But the server can
run on OS X and Windows (just not ME or 98) just fine. There are even
binary installers:
