#2 - TFS Power Tools 2008
Category : Installing and Configuring Microsoft Team Foundation Server
After installation of Team Foundation Server 2008, it's hightly recommended to also install the Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server Power Tools.
I'll come back to some of the Power Tools features in other posts, but it's key to have them installed as soon as possible because they contain very useful utilities - not only for power users! It's a pity that this still requires an extra installation. In the next version of TFS (Rosario), these features should belong to the standard setup of the product.
