Our feature comparisons against CVS, SVN etc are here:

The CVSNT project endeavours to deliver open source versioning tools
that facilitates good CM process.  Hence ACL's, Audit, Mergepoints
(Merge Tracking), True Rename (not copy+delete), Unicode filenames,
Unicode Merge etc.  None of those features are yet to make it into SVN:

All SCM tools (including the free open source CVSNT) "work".  I believe
your question should be which one supports your business better, which
one can deliver effective configuration management by making the
evolution of your code more manageable and the interrelationship between
changes clear.  The only open source SCM tool that delivers that in my
opinion is CVSNT.

The "commercial" verions of CVSNT aim to deliver features that are
mostly significant to commercial implementations of SCM such as 24 hour
support, defect tracking integration, build integration etc.  The
workspacemanager that is only available in the commercial version is
much more like VSS (allows repository browsing etc).

The next version of the commercial version (due real soon) also includes
VS.NET 2003/2005 integration and more WM features like drag and drop
import, view file contents (on server), ACL editing etc.
