Teams WIT Tools  Team Explorer 2010 Beta 1 Compatibility

Some good information on using TFS2010/VS2010 B1 in a mixed environment. I expect we’ll all be living this life for a number of months post release.

Please remember, we’re just in the first beta of TFS2010/VS2010. Don’t let this list scare you or color your impressions. Heck, I think it’s great that this info, this early in the beta cycle is out there. It shows Microsoft is approaching this with open eyes and real world like expectations

BTW, based on TechEd discussions these stories may get better (i.e. better, simpler and easier interop between VS2010 & TFS2008 and VS2008 & TFS2010)
