Are that many people really using SourceSafe still? TFS is now Microsoft's preferred solution, although I don't know what they use internally.

Disclaimer: I'm not a Microsoftie, just collecting some links and adding my own opinion.

Microsoft use TFS heavily [1].

Right now I imagine most MS projects are TFS but it doesn't appear to be mandated. Maybe for the big, internal-only stuff. ASP.NET is hosted on CodePlex as a Git repo [2] and MEF is Hg [3].

They've just added Git support to TFS and that probably means a lot of MS projects will migrate to Git over time.

You're right; I had forgotten about TFS.
