DVCS ? (All about Git, Mercurial-Hg and the like...)
Jibz:
Rather surprising:

Visual Studio will have Git support – and concretely, we released a CTP of a VSIX plugin for the Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 CTP today.

Why are we incorporating Git?
When we made the decision that we were going to take the DVCS plunge, we looked at many options. Should we build something? Buy something? Adopt OSS? We looked at Git, Mercurial and others. It didn’t take long to realize that Git was quickly taking over the DVCS space and, in fact, is virtually synonymous with DVCS. We thought hard about building something. Git hasn’t been as friendly for Windows developers as on other platforms. By building on Git, we can take all the time we might spend just “catching up” and spend that effort on something where we can add more distinctive value. Choosing Git just made sense.

Older versions of VS & TFS – At this time, we are not planning to include Git integration in older versions of VS or TFS.

Pretty surprising, yes! It somewhat corroborates the perception/idea that Git is 1- great at what it does 2- and a/the "major player" in the DVCS (or maybe even the whole VS) ecosystem...

Interesting to see MS adopt Git as an official first-rate citizen.
And it's going to be interesting to see what "His Screwyouness" has to say about this ;p
