Coexistence of VSS and TFS

Hi,

Could you please confirm if co-existence of both TFS and VSS is possible and there is no impact on each other. By this what I mean is that both VSS and TFS are installed on the same box and  some projects are using VSS and some are using TFS SCM.

I am worried because I saw a link http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.public.vsnet.vss/Jul2005/post23030072.asp which states that there is a issue with this (thought he is trying with Beta). I am not sure if there are any issues in the released version. Please guide as I have to make some decisions based on this.

Thanks and Regards

Prash

    I have TFS Explorer and VSS (2005 version) in the same client machine without problems, for server I don't think you would have problems also.

    The only issue you will have is you will have to go, in your client machines, to Visual Studio 2005 options, and in the section for source control, change between VSS or Team Foundation server when you want to change the repository to use, it's not possible to use both at the same time.
