Team Foundation Server 'Lite' to be included in MSDN Universal upgrades

June 14, 2008 (Last Modified: June 15, 2008)

I’m sure I’m late to the ballgame with this announcement since the postdate on this is back in May; however, this is pretty good news.

Rick LaPante has stated that the role based Team System editions of MSDN Subscriptions (aka, Architect, Tester and Developer editions) will also come with Team Foundation Server capable of running up to five users.

He also states that complaints were heard about confusion on what will be included in the new format of MSDN subscription editions and gives a URL for that. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vs2005/subscriptions/). However, I think what I need to see is a feature comparison of the different Team System Editions (Architect, Tester and Developer) in order to better decide which one to select when upgrading my Universal subscription.
