I hope the holidays are treating you well. We've just finished opening presents at my house and the kids are all bouncing off the walls with joy. As I said in my last post, it's been a busy holiday season and I haven't had much time to post. After the new year, things should return a little bit more to normal. In the mean time, I ...
Sorry for the light blogging lately. It's been busy the past couple of weeks and it's not looking like it will be less so until after the holidays. I spent two weeks in Europe in late Nov visiting customers, partners and attending Tech Ed. It was a terrific trip and a great opportunity to understand the challenges people are facin...

We've been piloting it with a couple of customers for a couple of months now and we wa...
The long awaited update for VSTS 2008 Database professional is now available. You may have been following the many pre-releases (CTPs, RCs, etc). This is the final update. The biggest new feature in this update is support for SQLServer 2008 but there's a great deal more. Among my favorite are support for offline database developme...
Teamprise has released a new TFS add-on called Teamprise Remote Accelerator. It is a solution similar to the TFS proxy but is designed for single user remote scenarios. It functions exactly like a TFS proxy but can easily be run on your local client and polls the server to "prefetch" files so that they are already local whenever you nee...

A few months ago some of our MVPs expressed interest in creating some translations of Team System Web Access. We looked into it and concluded that enabling it would be pretty straight forward and seemed like a great way to experiment with a new way of interacting with the community. Thus was born the TSWA Community Translation Project o...
