This is great news. Team Plain is a first class product, but I had to go to my business manager to get funding to purchase it after spending significant funds to purchase TFS. It is disconcerting to now hear that it is free.

Mike Bouck — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 09:22:22 GMT

Bait-and switch? I'm certainly happy to hear about the devBiz/Mircosoft announcement and that TeamPlain will now be incorporated into the broader TFS solution. However, given the fact that we've already ponied-up good money for TeamPlain what value are we receiving since you're giving away the product/support we just paid for? Did I just make a "donation" to Microsoft or can we talk about refunds/extended support/"premium" future features? A little confused...

As one of the users that paid for the product, I'm feeling a bit frustrated.

Version 1.0 was very slow, but 2.0 RC is very promising. However with the takeover from Microsoft this download has been removed from the TeamPlain website and now it may take some months to get this version as a Power Tool.

Robert — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 21:02:19 GMT

For all you guys bitching about buying it and now feeling screwed because it's free, three words for ya...

SUCK IT UP.

That's the way technology works. Especially at a bigger company. Think of it this way. The day you bought it, it wasn't free. And you helped pay for salary/development/marketing/etc... for the small company to keep their doors open and their bills paid.

I can't tell you how many products I've either bought and turned out to not use (ie. sit on the shelf), or bought and then later found out the product was either open sourced, or bought out by a bigger company and turned loose/free. Yeah, either way I feel stupid about it, but I just shrug it off and move on. Technology moves too quickly to get hung up on it.

re: Microsoft Acquires TeamPlain!

bharry — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 14:46:12 GMT

We will be looking at integrating TFS and Sharepoint more closely than they are today but we haven't figured out exactly when we will tackle that problem. We have a lot of high priority things.

The Sharepoint lists functionality is not quite as capable as the TFS work item tracking feature today. The primary difference is the rules and pick list support that TFS provides.
