TFS experience (pick some):
- Mostly TF version control (TFVC) experience.  We've been using TFVC since 
roughly 6 months before it shipped.  We did benchmarking against VSS, ClearCase 
and SoftbenchCM.  TFVC did very well especially in the distributed team 
scenario (tested from Beijing and India to Colorado).  
- Created PowerShell script to migrate SoftbenchCM file history to TFVC.  Heh 
that script ran for 24 hours and created 41000 changesets.  Very brute force 
but it worked.
- Have done team training on TFVC.
- Defined standard project dir structure for our group (leveraged from 
CVS/Subversion recommendations).

Current projects:
- Evaluating CI solutions, using CC.NET for now.
- Moving more projects over to TFVC (off of ClearCase and SoftbenchCM).

Current goals:
- Try to influence the TFS team to add features I want to see in TFS such as:
  * Create Branch ACE to prevent just anybody from creating branches anywhere 
in the directory structure.
  * Project Alerts that can be enabled for a particular directory (and subdirs) 
in a project.  That is, I'm want
    to know about checkins on $/Proj/Trunk but not on 
$/Proj/Branches/Developer/*.
  * Improve TeamBuild - it seems like a last minute hack to me.
- Start trying to get the organization off of ClearQuest for defect tracking 
and use TFS work item tracking.
- Eventually find time to create a PowerShell provider and set of cmdlets to 
support TFVC.

Favorite TFS tools (with links):
- TFS Power Toys soon to be Power Tools (I hope).  Our sysadmin looks at me 
funny when I tell him that each developer needs the TFS Power "Toys" installed. 
 :-)
