The tragic thing about SCM tools is that if you've made a bad choice you don't necessarily found out the consequences of the mistake until it's too late (i.e. you can't reproduce a product that was shipped six months ago, for example) I can say that when this sort of thing happens (and a company finds they have to redevelop a whole product line, for example, companies find taking a bit of a hit with licenses, retraining and so forth is an extremely cheap option.

The same applies to VSS, it comes cheap and works well inside an intranet (very sad across the internet) and just works fine out of the box...
