• Paul iP Old version of document lost in project portal

  I added a document using Team explorer to the \documents\development folder. Someone else modified that document offline and then emailed it back to me to put back in the system.

• rwetherall Chaining together work items?

• Slim Using Unit Tests to drive the Profiler

  I have several operations that take a long time, and I'm trying to determine what exactly the bottleneck is.

I'm asking because in the past we have always purchased indivudual licenses for our developers for the OS, Office, VS.NET, etc. So if we do go down the Team System ...Show All
