Richard Hundhausen's new book on Team System

Richard's new book Introducing Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005 Team System Beta Edition is up on Microsoft's web site. Due for release on May 25th.

Team System is Microsoft's answer to IBM's Rational and Borland's Caliber / StarTeam / Together combination. Microsoft made a bid to buy Rational, but lost to IBM. There was a rumor that they would buy Borland since Borland recently added ALM through acquisitions.

It is about time Microsoft upgraded from Visual Source Safe. I always found it amusing, but understandable, that they didn't actually use Visual Source Safe internally. I guess Team System is at least similar to their internal tools.
