I have to agree, Subversion (SVN) is made by the same people that made 
CVS, they recommend SVN for all "new" installs. But also though, where 
talking about RCS which is meant for small scale projects, so RCS is is 
not in the same class as CVS and SVN, apples and oranges.

Also you can run SVN on a standalone windows box and use TortoiseSVN 
(windows explorer shell extension) to emulate a simple version 
management system like RCS
