The whole point was that version control should be built into ANY IDE. Team system is much more, the version control is only a small part of the whole Team System Server and I am pretty sure it wouldn't hurt their sales if they'd give this to all their users. SVN support is something they may never ever do (especially since the community is moving on to Git and Mercurial), but some kind of source control should be there..

Why should they allow/integrate it in "Express" editions. Those are meant as smart demos lacking the advanced features (like version control, lol). They are a corporation after all. And they want to make money from developers as well. Microsoft support of SVN? That wouldn't quite fit in MS history. Implementing the same thing with a big assed name would.

But this still doesn't change the fact that CodePlex has no SVN option. Hi Mark,

It is trying to close the gap with Subclipse and is a pretty decent product. http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ FWIW, Microsoft's open-source group led by Sam Ramji have helped us (CollabNet) re-ignite this project so that Visual Studio would have a good free open source intergation for SVN. I agree it would be better if Microsoft would allow these clients to run in the Express versions. There is AnkhSVN for Visual Studio.
