If you haven't ever checked out the TFS Sidekicks from Attrice, here's a great opportunity to look at them. Attrice just released an update (version 2.4) with a bunch of new features and bug fixes. http://www.attrice.info/blog/2009/11/12/team-foundation-sidekicks-2-4-release/ You can think of the Sidekicks as a little like our Power Tools but...
I just got back from Europe last night. I spent one week in Rome at a partners summit and almost a week in Berlin at Tech Ed. I had 4 talks in each city (wow, it was a lot of speaking :)). It was really a terrific trip. It's the first time I've had the chance to spend a lot of time face to face with customers since Beta 2 sh...
Today we are announcing that Microsoft has closed on the purchase of the Teamprise Client Suite from Teamprise (a division of SourceGear). I’m incredibly excited to be taking this step. From my very first software job (producing an email client in the late 80’s) it has been clear to me that the value of collaboration software grows exponentially w...

As part of the Beta 2 evaluation process, I've seen a couple of reports of customers having problems with Sharepoint log files growing out of control - gigabytes in just a few minutes. Needless to say, it fills up disks and creates all kinds of havoc. While I don't know the root cause, we have found a bunch of useful information about i...
As part of our efforts to collect as much feedback on Beta 2 as we can, we've posted a survey that we hope you'll fill out. It's 11 multiple choice questions and 3 free form answer questions. If you've had a chance to try Beta 2, please take the time to fill out the survey. If you've already given me performance feedback on my blo...
I'm starting to get very mixed messages about people's satisfaction with performance in Beta 2. Clearly performance in Beta 1 was bad. We knew that. We did a lot of work in Beta 2 to make it better and I've heard a lot of people comment on how much better Beta 2 is. At the same time, I'm hearing some people say they are very...
Check out Telerik's new tool for managing work on TFS. It's got a task board, iteration planning tools, and some generally cool query/filter capabilities. They've just released a version that works with TFS 2010 Beta 2. I saw a demo late last week and it looks really good. And best of all, it's a free add on. I highly ...
