Source Safe just attempted to be a useless source control system. RTC tried to add issue tracking, automation, and other crap. It wanted to be truly terrible at everything.
But Source Safe was fantastically bad. I especially liked that its database file was limited to like 2GB. It was so bad that Microslop didn't use it.
