Try out our Virtual Labs

Maybe this is old news to you. Certainly Rob and Brian have posted about it before. But since I'm still hearing people ask about what's in Team System and wanting to try it out without downloading and installing the whole thing, I'll add my $0.02. So,

New TFS Version Control Blog

Take a look at the newly created Version Control blog for which Chandru (one of the devs on the team) has provided the first post . I'm hoping we'll see many more in the future...I know that team is heads down on fixing bugs for Orcas at the moment so

TFS Server Manager

Brian has recently posted about a tool that he introduced to me way before we released TFS. I found it immensely valuable to really get a handle on what was going on with our dogfood server and how much usage it had seen recently. He's been plugging away

More details on managing work for Team System

I've been meaning to write a more detailed post describing the mechanics for managing work for Team System . Turns out Siddharth beat me to it with his article on Tracking Customer Value . Take a look, it's very informative.

I've been tagged (again)

A few weeks back my buddy Etienne tagged me and it's been on my list of things to do to respond. Then, earlier this week, Buck listed me on his tag . Then, this morning, Brian did the same and I figured I better get off my butt before it happens a fourth
