VSS 2005 Part III

Let’s give it up for VSS!  Whether or not I end up staying with it, I was just
pleasently surprised by VSS 8.

1. Amazingly, VSS 2005 binds to the 2003 IDE.  What?  Is this really a Microsoft product? 
   Backward compatable?  You guys rock!  That is really cool.  Now I wonder
   if I can make it work through HTTP?
2. Speed over our VPN is much better than it was in the old version of VSS.
3. The icons are prettier?

OK, that’s about it.
