There is an add-on product called Visual SVN which gives you the VS integration but I didn't really find that necessary once I adjusted to the philosophy change.

No, it integrates with Windows Explorer. For example, when I change a code file and it becomes out of sync with the repository, it adds a cool little symbol to the icon on Windows Explorer telling me it's out of sync. I can then right click on the file in Windows Explorer and see new menu options provided by Subversion in the context menu.

I should elaborate... Subversion is the engine. Tortoise SVN is what provides the Windows Explorer integration. Both are free products.
