November 30, 2006Nov 30, 200611/30/06I’ve been hinting at this coming for while now. I think I promised it would come out in Dec and here it is on the last day of Nov :). I hope this is helpful to you in knowing where we are headed and also in giving us feedback on where we are missing the boat.
November 29, 2006Nov 29, 200611/29/06We’ve been conducting fairly regular chats on VSTS. They’ve been very lively and we’ve good participation. The last one was November 8th and the transcript from it is here. We’ve got another one coming up on December 6th at 10am PST.
November 28, 2006Nov 28, 200611/28/06It’s really cool to see user’s groups for Team System start to pop up around the country. Michael just announced a new one in Boston. I’ve offered to come up there and speak at it sometime in the spring. If you know of more user’s groups let me know,

November 20, 2006Nov 20, 200611/20/06SD Times recently posted an article about TFS (and about VS Orcas). I’m only going to talk about the TFS part of it here and leave any thoughts on the broader VS and Vista comments to others to comment on. I think it’s a good and balanced article.
