New Team System Stuff - 2005-05-16

Visual Studio Team System

The big news around Team System at the moment is the announcement on Rick LaPlante’s blog [listening to customers] and elsewhere about changes to the pricing and licensing of Team Foundation Server, and Team Suite upgrade pricing. You can also read about it on the News.com Microsoft blog [Microsoft lowers planned team tool price] and on Microsoft Watch [Microsoft Bends (a Bit) on Visual Studio Team Issues]. The news was well-received by many, but there’s still some people that are concerned about the whole-package pricing.
eWeek ['Hawaii': A Visual Studio Paradise for Developers?] and Microsoft Watch [Visual Studio 'Orcas' and 'Hawaii' in the Wings] are reporting on future versions of Visual Studio, “Orcas” and “Hawaii”. Despite what the eWeek article states, I’m highly skeptical that a division-wide ship party for “Hawaii” will involve an airline ticket to attend.
Prashant Sridharan presented the keynote at VSLive! in Las Vegas. Richard Hundhausen has coverage of his speech [VSLive! Keynote by Prashant Sridharan "Building a Customer-Focused Visual Studio"].
Grace Francisco, a Technical Evangelist for Team System, has launched her blog: Graceworld.
Dave Bost posted his “Introduction to Team System” slides from the Chicago Day of .NET [My Day of .NET Slides] a couple of weeks ago, which I meant to link to sooner.
Aaron Stebner has a post to help those that are trying to install Beta 2 on machines that once had CTP or older bits [How to resolve Visual Studio 2005 IDE errors after uninstalling previous betas].
The Accentient blog with Steven Borg & Richard Hundhausen should be on your reading list. They’ve had a lot of worthwhile posts on Team System lately [Team System category]. This gave me a chuckle.
Back in January [New Team System Stuff - 2005-01-17] I pointed to some articles on DNJ Online, which have since been updated and expanded to cover Team System, Team Foundation Server and each of the role-based editions [Visual Studio Team System].
