Team Foundation Server shipped
Just got the word from Marc, that Team Foundation Server will ship today, according to this article on ActiveWin. Rob Caron also mentioned it.
Too bad it can’t be downloaded from MSDN, we’ll have to find another way to play around with it in our Lab.
Dennis is an independent consultant and software architect who loves building distributed systems and the challenges they bring. What he learns he tries to share via numerous articles, blogposts, presentations and workshops.
I think there will be a version that can be downloaded from MSDN. The Team Editions of Visual Studio 2005 come with a license for a version of Team Foundation Server that can be used by up to five users.
Here is a link with more information about the TFS version limited to five users: http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/09/01/459290.aspx
Sorry about the comment spam, but this blog entry says it all: http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2006/03/16/553121.aspx

You’re right about the 5 users, I totally forgot. That’ll be a nice version to install at home. But at work, we’ll probably need more. We’re working with three feature teams on a product, and our team consists of five developers. So projectleader, testers, etc can’t login, and neither the other teams. Bit of a shame! 😉
If you have over 5 users, than you need to shell out some money! TFS Standard Edition should cost less than 3000 euros.
