    Team foundation server 2008 vs source safe

    I am facing problem while migrating from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (VSS) to Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server. It says some paths that are not valid cannot be migrated.

    Re: Team foundation server 2008 vs source safe

    Typically, this issue occurs for one of the following reasons:
    The path contains a Visual Studio Team Foundation Server reserved name.The path contains a file name that is in the MS-DOS-compatible short name format. For example, the path contains the following file name: Abcdef~1.txt

    Can any one compare Visual Source Safe vs. Team Foundation Server in terms of cost? When i use the VSS Converter to perform the migration it says path is not valid, the action is not migrated.

    Team Foundation Server is much, much better, but still has quite a few annoyances, IMO. Visual SourceSafe is licensed individually, whereas Team Foundation Server is licensed on a server and CAL (client access license) model. source control in TFS is very high performance (SQL Server based) and you can create a distributed environment.
