Heard here (or there) first, confirmed.

Some *ahem* one *ahem* mentioned this on ezbug, I believe.

Thought that if they were *ahem* around, they might like to *ahem* know that its been independantly verified. :)

Yeah, I used SLM in the old days. Given how devoted Microsoft is to eating your own dog food, the fact that there are still groups that don't use SourceSafe says something about how bad that product must be."
