[c-nsp] VSS - Horror stories, show-stoppers, other personal experience?

[Mike G]

Thank you again Andrew, I appreciate the info!

Has anyone else run into problems?  Have you heard of others having
problems?

Or, have you had a really successful VSS implementation and have no
complaints?

I would love to hear some more opinions on VSS.
