This particular omission is utterly astonishing when Microsoft are talking about life cycle technologies - you simply can't take part in the development lifecycle if you don't have first class source control support. Don't get me wrong, the Expression suite is a fantastic set of tools, and has a lot of great features that continually amaze me, but unless the basics are in place, life is going to be very hard indeed.
