Really wish someone would just take the win95 UI code and tell an LLM to make it work on the win11 74 bit kernel

I prefer to believe they just merged the two branches in SourceSafe.

Hmm. Not sure I agree. The initial CLR for .net was in vss. Maybe it wasn’t important, but bonus points if you know why.

No definitely not true. It was in Source Depot if not SLM.

Personally, I enjoyed MS source safe and exclusive file locking.
