With Visual Studio Team System, organizations can:

  • Reduce the complexity of delivering modern service-oriented solutions that are designed for operations
  • Facilitate collaboration among all members of a software team (including architects, developers, testers, and operations managers), speeding development time and ensuring the predictability and reliability of the development process
  • Customize and extend the Team System with their own internal tools and processes or choose from over 450 supplemental products from over 190 partners
Does Visual Studio 2005 Team System work for geographically distributed teams?
One of our design goals was to ensure that distributed teams can access Team System products.
Do you support cross-platform design issues?
Platform integration is achieved through Web services and supported by Team System. Team Foundation Core Services enable third parties to extend Team System.
How extensible will your platform be?
Visual Studio 2005 Team System enables partners and customers to extend Team System with their own internal or commercial tools and process frameworks. As the platform on which Team System is built, Team Foundation Core Services enable third parties to extend Team System and to share reporting, eventing, groups and permissions, linking, administration and navigation capabilities. In addition to the Team Foundation Core Services integration services, each of the tools in Visual Studio 2005 Team System may be extended through its own APIs or services.
Does Visual Studio 2005 Team System support 64-bits?
You can use Visual Studio 2005 to compile your application and specify that it should run on a 64-bit operating system either as a native application or under WOW64; however, Visual Studio 2005 itself (including Team Suite and the role-based editions) is a 32-bit application and when installed on a 64-bit Windows operating system will run under WOW64. Likewise, Team Foundation Build is a 32-bit application and when installed on a 64-bit Windows operating system will run under WOW64. For more information, see Visual Studio Development Environment 64–Bit Support and Visual Studio Team System 64-Bit Support.
Can the product scale to enterprise level?
The work item tracking feature is based on tools used internally at Microsoft. These tools will typically scale to teams of up to 500 people working simultaneously on a project.
Is this the tool that Microsoft uses internally?
Many of the tools in Visual Studio 2005 Team System are tools that Microsoft has used internally for years, such as profiling, static analysis and work item tracking. Microsoft already has plans to use Visual Studio 2005 Team System for product development, and is currently being used by the Developer Division.
Can I upgrade from the Visual Studio Team Suite trial to the full version?
Yes, but you must first uninstall the Team Suite trial before installing the full version.
