Comparison of Total Visual SourceBook with the Microsoft Code Librarian

With Office 2000, Microsoft introduced the Code Librarian in the Office Developers Edition. The Microsoft tool is a good introduction to the concept of code libraries, but can't compare to the feature set of Total Visual SourceBook.

It also takes a lot of time and effort to create a vibrant and current code library. Microsoft discontinued the Code Librarian with Office 2003.
