Visual Studio Team -vs- FogBugz, et al Someone commented in an earlier thread that they felt the Joel and Eric Sink should be nervous about MS releasing "Visual Studio 2005 Team". Having never heard of this product I was intrigued enough to head over to the MS website and read about it:

People have a habit of grossly overestimated Microsoft's ability to conquer new markets. Ultimately, much like SourceSafe, this thing could win simply by being "in the box".

I have not seen this (it was being shown at the various developer events) but I have read about it. It is aiming at the enterprise market (aiming for lock in). All the bells and whisles may be necessary do to tighting auditablity regulations and report generation. Some people think that these heavy process tools can be used to deflect Sarbains-Oxley (The Report was not generated correctly because Joe Coder did not actually put in the code, Bad Joe Coder , Your fired and your getting the bill for the companies legal expenses too)

Only if you are a license engineer (and only Texas has license software engineers). Then you can be sued for malpractice. I was being extreme and extremely silly.

And for full disclosure, Sarbanes Oxley makes the CEO and CFO fully libel for the ability to generate timely (real time) accurate fiscal reports. The CFO and CEO can actually go to jail if such reports can not be generated (extremely unlikely...). So now these upper management types want to know what the CIO can give them in tools or it is his head and as we know every thing goes down hill.
