Man. I tried and tried to get VSS working sanely and failed, and I was just a single developer. That was probably 1999. Before that my boss had me use the zip file method. Better than nothing but what a mess, especially since I was unaware of all the utilities like grep and diff that make me so productive today. After that it was CVS on Windows, also a disaster. It wasn't until I moved to Linux that CVS worked for me. And just when I had a handle on that everyone was switching to Subversion. It's sort of painful to keep up with the modern things, which is why I take a wait and see approach before diving in to something that has the hype. Which is why I kept using Subversion for so long. But it allowed Git to mature and 3 years ago when I dived in I came up in a daze with all the power and productivity gains it brought me. Sorry to say it but I'd hate my job if I were still using zip or VSS today, because those methods are tedious and complicated in comparison.
