    VSO (Visual Studio Online) it the best thing Microsoft ever done for me. I am now having all my projects stored online and to do that I no longer have to use messy (no offence) Git based source control systems. I can use my favorite TFS and have my code always accessible to me. Thank you Microsoft ******Do you fill the same?

      TFS is a PITA, as every other source control system is. Plan your actions, and hardly anyone needs to merge classes anymore. Seriously: Git is good, TFS is good, and they both suck equally.

      I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

        While SVN still good for me. And more others, which prefers natural numbers over SHA1s.

            I have never had any experience with SVN, I've just used it pull code off of websites and nothing more, But feature like build, load testing, and integrated work management system that comes with VSO makes it a pro. even I'd prefer simple TFS-Express over anything else. ** This may be biased view ;)

                  "Plan your actions, and hardly anyone needs to merge classes anymore." Really? Mate, I don't know the size of your team, the type of project or how you designed your app but merges are neither a problem nor the only/main advantage of a source control solution. Not using any source control system, THAT's a PITA :)

                    I was merely picking on the projects where 2 or 3 people work on the same file, and then they claim that "the SCS is BS because the merge is a PITA". Of course, not using any isn't great either - I work on a 5 people team, and TFS works kinda OK for us.

                        Completely agree, VSO is really cool, for my needs it's a no brainer! I use the free version for myself and at work my company has moved to TFS online. no server to maintain, no backup to deal with, no infrastructure. It's just easy.

                          That is great, even I am thinking of suggesting this in my company, it's just so simple. But I am not sure how will they fill about pushing the source onto cloud :(.

                            indeed, it just is a add on feature, instead of having different software for related use.

                              We at VSO appreciate this. And thanks for all those sexy, proprietary projects we'd never have got to see normally. No really! We will appreciate your input!:suss:

                                I'd never trust confidential code to a cloud service. If you think TFS is a better source control system than Git then ... :confused:. TFS's source control is one of the worst I've used.

                                  @Ravi, You definitely should use it for you task management and build deployment, I'm sure you will save a lot of your time, and it also is very simple so you don't have to invest much time in learning it (I've never used VSO for it though.)

                                        No offence but I do not see the reason to believe that Or, I just have less experience than you do.
