Now that’s what I call a power tool!  Building on all the other great features previously released, this new batch includes a lot of new stuff, with these as my favorites:

• Team Members
• You can now view all participants in a project via a new “Team Members” node in Team Explorer.  Among other things, you can use this to see their information, send IM’s, see their current shelvesets, check-in history, and their pending changes (sweet!).  You can also view team/group groupings and do some fun stuff with that too.
• Windows Shell Extensions
• Now you can check-in/out via Windows Explorer!

Check out Brian Harry’s blog post on the announcement, as well as his previous post describing the new features in detail.
