We're wanting to upgrade to TFS 2008 but can't find the distro L
Brian Harry blogged about this a while back - but does anyone have any other info ? http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/bharry/archive/2007/11/22/2008-installation-q uestions.aspx TFS 2008 Standard Edition - I'm sad to say this is not going to be as simple as I wish it were - Your answer actually depends on how you buy TFS. * Retail, also known as Full Packaged Product (FPP) - The retail SKU has been released and is available now. If you purchase TFS through a retail reseller, you can order it now, install it and you will have the properly license product ID that you need. * Microsoft Volume licensing - The short of it is that the 2008 products will not go on the Microsoft price lists until January 2008. This means there is no way to actually buy them in volume licensing until then. However, MSDN subscribers can download 2008 products licensed under MSDN today through the MSDN subscriber download (as in the case of Workgroup Edition above). The issue is that TFS Standard Edition is not included with any MSDN subscription - it is licensed separately. Because of this, there is no way to get a TFS 2008 Product ID (PID) or the TFS 2008 Standard Edition download through volume licensing until January - when it is on the price list and you can actually buy it. In January, you should be able to download TFS and the corresponding PID from the MLVS site. * Other - The story is basically the same as for Volume Licensing. In January, you will be able to call customer support and request your TFS 2008 Standard Edition Product ID.
