Answer 1

@Nigel We have TFS on a remote server with local proxy at my workplace. Our internet connection is quite slow relative to the number of developers on site. TFS has extremely poor performance in this configuration compared to having the server local. Our solutions can be several hundred MB to download (of which there are a few branches). Checking version history is slow and painful. Retrieving shelvesets is slow and painful. Checking in on VS2010 or VS2008 is slow and painful. Fortunately VS2012 does this asynchronously so checking in is not so bad but you will eventually get a modal dialog when the op is complete.

All in all, I would say a poor experience compared to SVN let alone DVCS.
