I'm more concerned about the fact that VSS is more or less deprecated (last time I looked there wasn't an explicit statement but at same time, there wasn't any update or even a little version bump - latest is 2005) and Team Foundation Server (there's a personal edition as well ) is supposed to replace VSS but when i tested, I found that the provider doesn't seem to work well. The provider also does not seem to work that well with different SCC program. For example, Access always crash if SourceGear Vault is used instead. I also wonder with SharePoint's replication functionality, is Access team going to relegate the VSS integration to legacy features that won't be developed any further?

Good pointer, Luke! Now, is there any chance of sweet-talking Microsoft into BUNDLING VSS with Office/Access? I have an old copy of VS2003, just to keep VSS in the toolset. Seeing that Access 2010 still points to it, there must be some thinking that it's worth keeping around.
