What do people use for version control with VC++ 2008? I have the
standard edition, which doesn't have any built-in version control
functionality, AFAIK. Do you recommend any external tools?

As has already been posted on this thread, Perforce --
http://www.perforce.com -- (free for 2 users max) is *really*
powerful. I've used the pay version at work for years, and really like
it. If you want more users, or prefer open source, Subversion and
TortoiseSVN from http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ are quite good. Some
open source development has started using git, from
http://git-scm.com/ , which is also free.
