Hm, i don't know about that "wonderful" bit 
I've seen some quirky behavior in the VSS integration, especially in a
multi-programmer envinronment (and more especially with web projects).
Plus, I can't stand the fact that VSS still looks a lot like a 16-bit
program wearing a 32-bit jacket - although if you run it in integrated mode,
you don't see as much of that.
Overall, though, I do prefer VSS to most other source control software out
there. Also, the integration CAN be extremely cool at times
If you guys haven't tried out the "alternative", give Source Gear's Vault a
spin. It integrates in much the same way, and puts the source in a "real"
database - another pet peeve of mine is the VSS "database" which fragments
and corrupts at the drop of a hat when it gets to be a certain size.

Rob,
I'm not sure why you are having such problems, but we have found it to
be quite stable on a stable Win2K server. We have been adding to our
VSS database for several years now (including one upgrade from vss5 to
6) and have several large projects in it(along with a lot of
documentation, we use it for almost everything we do). One of my jobs
is monitoring the health of the VSS database, and I just haven't seen
any problems, zero, zip, none. We have seen some quirky actions with
Source Off Site, but each time I research such a complaint the VSS
database is intact and the problem is with SOS.
Is it possible there is something going on with your server or are you
just speaking on a scale I can't imagine!
Regards,
Charlie Smith

If you want to integrate w/ VS.NET, i think you need to use the latest
patch/upgrade to VSS (6.0d or something like that).
