How can you say that.
I've installed sourcesafe at several locations and if you want a package
that ties into the IDE, it works good..
Never had no problems with it..
Havent tried subversion though so I have no experience with it...

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:
