  I cannot find TFS setup files at the Microsoft | VolumeLicensing (we have "all" MS licenses) site. The best match is "VStudio Team Suite 2005 Win32 English Disk Kit MVL CD"; but there is nothing about Team Foundation Server...

  We'd like to give our customers access to TFS for reading e.g. bug-information. Thus we would need a speciel security group that controls this access, e.g. a "Bug-readers"-group.
