Budget constraints won't allow us to purchase Visual Studio's Team Foundation software, so we're on the hunt for an alternative.
I tried getting Mercurial to work on our system, but failed.. somewhere I'm missing something, and I've wasted enough hours on that.

What do you guys use?
 
And AnkhSVN integrates with Visual Studio.

not that I commit from within VS - I prefer to do it from within the filesystem. But it is handy for checking revisions of code and reverting files if you need to.
 
Setting mercurial central repo on windows to push and pull is a pain. Works very well if the central repo is on linux. I personally prefer mercurial than subversion. TortoiseHg works on windows. VisualHg if you need Visual Studio integration.
 
Subversion as well.

VisualSVN and TotroiseSVN. We don't bother integrating into VS... and use the file system instead.
 
Colabnet also recently allowed 10 free licences on TeamForge which included svn and lots of other features.

We've just switched to that from Visualsvn, Bugzilla, alfresco combo.
 
+1 for subversion. Used to used it a couple of years ago, then tried out Visual Soft Serve... uhhh... Source Save (:sick:) for a SHORT period of time and moved over to Team Foundation. TF works for us and, as a Microsoft Partner, we're licensed to use it. Otherwise go for subversion...
 
We use TFS. Gold Partner status has its advantages.

At home I use Bazaar - not sure if it has a VS add-in though. I'd looked at Git as well - you may want to look at that as a contender.

Not to start a war here :P but SVN is getting a little old in the tooth. There are other systems out there (Git, Mercurial, Bazaar) that are more advance, IMO.
