Click here for a very interesting Version Control System Comparison.

SVN is a version control system that wants to replace CVS.

As I was looking for a windows-client I fell on to:

• TortoiseSVN, I would call it a "floating repository". As it says "it's not an integration for a specific IDE you can use it with whatever development tools you like". After you install it, you will always see it when you right-click your mouse.
• RapidSVN, I would call it a "central repository". Although I didn't test it for long it was alright. The files and everything you version control is shown on a window. The procedure is exactly the opposite of TortoiseSVN.
• AnkhSVN, It is what I was looking for. It is integrated into Visual Studio. Nice.

I started searching for a CVS client integrated into Visual Studio but nothing worked right. I saw igloo and WinCVS but they were are not like the AnkhSVN that works right after it is installed. 

About SVN windows repositories and/or clients you can read here.

There is also a project that simplifies the process of setting up a Subversion repository on a Windows-based computer. Click here.

I will write something about CVS and SVN as soon as I find the proper time for writing small guides.
