I got several comments last week that posting my registration codes in the middle of the afternoon North Carolina time was not very friendly for people in the Asia-Pacific region.  It worked out to the middle of the night and since they didn’t last more than a few hours, they were all used up by the time people woke up.  Tonight I&r...

Now that you have a Team Foundation Service account, some of you are going to be interested in setting up a build machine to work with it.  Richard Hundhausen did a very nice video to walk you through this process but I’m going to recap it because there’s a few additional things I want to explain.  If you watch his video, it’s higher fidelity than ...

The demand for accounts to try out the Windows Azure based TFS Service Preview we announced yesterday has been terrific.  We've used a bunch of avenues to get codes in people's hands but the demand keeps out pacing supply.  Because of that, this morning, we bumped the number of activations on my "bharry" activation code.  There shoul...

Yesterday was a pretty crazy day with our new hosted TFS Service going live.  I'd stayed pretty focused on that to make sure everything went smoothly.  But, in case of some rare anomaly that you missed it, we announced a VS 11/TFS 11 developer preview yesterday as well.  They are available to MSDN subscribers on the download center t...

Today at the BUILD conference, we announced availability of our Windows Azure based Visual Studio Team Foundation Service Preview. If you’ve been following my blog, then you know we’ve been working on it for a while now. We’ve had a private preview going for the past several months and are up to several hundred users. We’re ready to take the next s...

This is the third post in the series on “Developers are Raving Fans” TFS features.  The first post was on workspace improvements, the second on merging and this is kind of a wrap up post that covers the rest of the version control improvements.  There’s a few more that are in progress that I’m not quite ready to talk about yet but this should cover...

Here’s the next post in my series of “Developers are raving fans” enhancements coming in TFS 11.  My last post was on workspace improvements. One of the things we consistently get customer feedback on in TFS 2010 is that merging is still too complicated and/or too limited.  We’ve made several significant improvements in the coming release: A ...

Finally.  Yesterday we republished the TFS 2010 SP1 Cumulative update.  You'll find the download here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26211 You can read my original article about it to learn more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2011/06/13/tfs-2010-sp1-cumulative-update-1-available.aspx To refresh your memory,...

We’re in final testing for the August release of the TFS Power Tools.  I’ve been playing around with it for the past couple of days and it’s looking really good.  In this post I’ll give you a sneak preview of what is coming and then, as soon as the download is available (another week or two), I’ll blog the link.  I hope you are really going to like...

One of the more difficult things for developers with TFS today is the “Workspace”.  A workspace is a mapping of code out of a TFS server onto your hard drive and defines all of the rules of how your local operations on those files relate to what is on the server.  We’ve heard feedback since 2005 that developers would lik...
