I've checked every feature praised in this article and it's present in Subversion:
1) No sales force: you bet
2) Change-based architecture: yes, similar repository-wide changeset sequance numbers are used
3) Atomic transactions: yes, via Berkeley DB transaction support, including long (with reboot) transactions, and support for Berekley DB 4.1
4) inter-file branching with lazy copy mechanism: yes, one of the centerpieces of the Subversion architecture
5) Scalability: look at the list of publis Subversion repositories http://subversion.tigris.org/svn-repositories.html, the largest there is 5 GB (Subversion is slower than CVS as many observed -- no comparison with Perforce had been made -- but they're working on this)
6) Even plug-in for Microsoft Office: Subversion developer is working on an auto-versioning patch to provide versioning for WebDAV clients not using the "versioning" part of WebDAV spec, and Office is already supporting WebDAV natively, requiring no client-side add-ins.
Here's what O'Reilly has to say:

...and here's the "independent opinion" so to speak ;-):
