Dave, great post about a fantastic product. But have you looked at the pricing for TFS? Given that TFS is currently not included in the MS partner program (AFAIK) RRP for TFS is approx $5900 + approx $1000 per seat? For a smallish dev teams (ie around 6-10 seats) this pricing is ridiculous for the functionality. We recently decided to go with Gemini and SourceSafe as a much cheaper (approx $280 US with no per seat cost). Yes we loose a bit of functionality, but definitely not enough to warrent the extra cost.

The other significant point is that because we don't have a per seat cost we can expose our Gemini interface to everyone else in the org, as well as customers (if we so desired).

Partnership pays. We are a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner with competencies in Custom Development as such we get a whole bunch of Team Developer licenses with a Standard Server license for Team Foundation Server.

Mind you - getting access to that entitlement out of the partner program can be so big a challenge that its easier to drop the dosh :)

Something needs to be done about the delivery of TFS across the various channels actually.
