TFS – Beginnings…

We’ve got TFS installed now, and we’re beginning to test it in the team… At present we’re only using it as a BugTracker / Doc share – and the reason for this is that in 4 weeks (or so) we plan to update the solution to VS2010 (from VS2008) and quite frankly, we can live with our current source control until that point.
