We recently published a case study with Thomson Reuters on their experiences adoption TFS in a cross platform development team using Teamprise for their Java developers.  It's a great testament to how the combination of these two products can work together to create a comprehensive ALM solution for a significant development team.  I frequ...

There are as many processes for software development as there are software teams.  Ever since we shipped TFS, I have hoped that a community would form for sharing process ideas and for sharing process templates.  Creating new process templates can be a significant undertaking.  It's way easier if you can start with a process template...

Also, at the TechEd Keynote, I demonstrated VSTS for Database Professionals working with DB2.  The first step in the process is a release we are working on now called the VSTS for Database Professionals 2008 GDR (I'm not going to waste your time trying to explain what a GDR is - just think of it as an update - not too much unlike a service pac...

I just got back from TechEd.  I had a great time and met some terrific people.  This is the first TechEd where the conference has been split across 2 weeks - the first for developers, the second for IT. This TechEd has a first for me.  I got to do one of the big demos in big keynote with Bill - his last big keynote as full time chai...

We have gotten some requests for translations of Team System Web Access into additional languages (beyond the 9 we already do).  I am speculating that the additional interest here comes from the fact that TSWA targets a broader audience beyond the core development team and as such translations are even more valuable than for Visual Studio itse...

We'll be holding a PDC this fall in Los Angeles Oct 27 - 30.  Registration opens today at: http://www.microsoftpdc.com/.  There are many developer oriented conferences that present an opportunity to learn about Microsoft technologies.  The PDC is the most forward looking of those conferences.  It is an opportunity to learn what ...

We are nearing the end of the window for collecting Beta feedback on VS/VSTS/TFS 2008 SP1.  We are actively taking and working on feedback through the end of the month.  I haven't heard too much feedback yet.  I know it's hard to get excited about testing a Beta of an SP but if you have tried it, please let me know how it went. ...

We've recently had a spike in hotfix publishing for TFS.  At this point we have published all completed TFS 2008 hot fixes and are expecting a few more this week.  We are still behind on publishing TFS 2005 hotfixes but at this point, I'm thinking it may not be worth a ton of effort on that since much of our user base has or is migrating ...
