Team Foundation Server 2010 and Offline development?
- by Bobby Ortiz
Did Microsoft add anything to improve offline development?
I'm comparing TFS with Mercurial.
Edit #1: Work Environment Details
20 Developers.
1 location.
TFS 2005 is already installed, but only being used by 4 developers.
Those that use TFS, are only using it for Source Control
Others using VSS. :(
Many small projects (Over 50 projects active)
Project Team size: 1 to 3
Several employees work from home one day a week, but have VPN access
There is a group of our devs that have never used TFS that are still on VSS.
They are the ones pushing use to jump ship to Mercurial. Mercurial offline features is one reason they prefer it. Another reason is they just associate TFS with VSS regardless of my assertions to the contrary.
We do use FogBugz and everyone agrees that it is great! This kind of excited our love for NON Microsoft products that our MUCH lighter.
I don't think it is worth it.
