Team System Web Access Power Tool Now Available (Think TeamPlain v2.0 but with added Microsoft Sauce)

bharry's WebLog - Team System Web Access Power Tool Available!

"Today [Monday, July 30th] we released the first "official" power tool release of Team System Web Access.  You can download it from here [Visual Studio Team System Web Access Power Tool].  

Let me put this in context.  When Microsoft first acquired DevBiz, we provided v1.0 of TeamPlain for download.  Based on customer demand, we uploaded a preview of TeamPlain 2.0.  Neither were supported by Microsoft customer support but both were available for download by all Team Foundation Server licensed users.

With our release today of the Team System Web Access Power Tool, several things have changed.  This new version is based on the TeamPlain 2.0 code base but a great deal of work has gone into it since March.  Although, it is still not yet an officially released Microsoft product it has taken some great strides, including:

Microsoft Customer Support Services will now support it.

The code has been run through the Microsoft release process which is an extensive gauntlet of checks that help ensure quality.  Among the more important ones is a security review to make sure the code is not susceptible to attack.

We have tested it to a moderate degree (including internally dogfooding it for a couple of months).

I use Microsoft's release of TeamPlain/Team System Web Access v1.0 almost every day. For quick TFS work, it's much faster than firing up Visual Studio/Team Explorer...

I've been looking forward to v2.0 and think I'll be installing this today. I'll let you know if I have any problems.

Note that in comments bharry says that if you have v1.0 installed, to uninstall it before you install this version...
