Never heard of it before.
I used Perforce before, and now Tourtoise SVN as Source-controll.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/groove/default.aspx
It's not a source-control solution, but more of a team collaboration tool. So it works well for task lists, discussion, file sharing, and other custom lists.
The huge advantage is that it uses a client capable of offline functionality. So I could easily type a response to a discussion thread while offline and next time I connect to the internet, it automatically gets synchronized to all the other team members. Also, I can read their responses offline. So I can connect to download all the latest updates before heading out on a flight, then read and respond all while offline. (Same goes for everything, not just discussion)
I was initially heasitant to it in the scenario of software development; but since I started working at Groove, I quickly adapted to it.

Just FYI: if you ever happen to run into problems due to locked files - kill Tortoise. We have had a couple of such issues with that client.

we are using perforce (i always have to think about the word "pervert"), but i seem to kinda start hating the thing, especially when you have stuff in your changelist, and you got a new computer... lol
But hey, getting latest stuff is nice though

What ever you do... don't use Merant PVCS... at least not the JAVA interface. It's horrible At my former office they wanted to switch to ClearCase as well in the near future. I'm still looking for a CVS plugin for Total Commander instead of something standalone like Tortoise CVS.... Well I should start proper usage of version management systems anyway...
