As has been announced in several different blogs, the second beta of the MSSCCI provider is available, providing VS integration for users with VS 2003 and earlier (you cannot use it with VS 2005, because we provide the full experience with Team Explorer in VS 2005). For it to work, you will need to disable strong name validation for the beta 2 asse...

Rob Caron pointed out a post over at Vertigo Software regarding the tf.exe command line (I like the command line too, but I'm biased :-).  There's also a nice post on branching and merging, along with quite a few other useful posts.  Check it out.

Clark Sell posted a VSTS JumpStart with useful links as well.Here are some posts from James Manning you may find useful. For those of you out there who want to add your own "power toy" to enhance the ...

I'm still catching up on what's been going on, and I found this on Grace Francisco's blog.  I've highlighted the end of the summary where it mentions using TeamPrise on Linux. MSDN Webcast: Accessing Visual Studio 2005 Team System Using the Teamprise Plug-In for Eclipse (Level 200) Find out how you can use the Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse to ...

The Team Foundation RC should be available for download sometime today, and Jeff Beehler provided a high-level description of what's changed.  His first point is the most significant.  There are many, many bug fixes in the RC compared to beta 3.  For version control, merge has improved the most.  It's quite a bit faster and more...
