Answer 1

As far as I can tell no. I think the idea is to promote team foundation.
Here is the roadmap link for vss

Also, you can try SourceAnywhere for VSS. It is a VSS remote access solution. For more information, you can take a look at this page:

Hi Kamran,

As far as I know, VSS will not release new version in future. The functions of VSS has migrated to Team Foundation Server (TFS) , I would suggest you to install TFS to get new experience.

For your reference, please see:

• Migrating VSS 2005 to TFS 2008
• Introduction to Team Foundation for Visual SourceSafe Users

Hope this helps,
Nancy
