In TFS 2005 running help from tf.exe popped up the MSDN help browser.  That was a bit lame, but we didn’t allocate the time to do it right.  That’s been fixed in TFS 2008.

Running tf.exe /? produces a list of commands, and tf someCommand /? produces detailed help on that command.

Here are a couple of examples.  These two commands are also new in TFS 2008.
