Some of the point of hand we had included - Issue in the process template were nothing would list in the assigned to field, had to manually edit the work item templates, this may have been due to the template coming initially from tfs 2005 (we had upgraded once before) - The build agent couldn’t be installed on XP, and I had existing build servers for building vb6 assets. Had to move to win7, and get vb6 working there, which is not trivial - I upgraded away from the xml based build process, to the new workflow build process, has issues replicating some custom build activities needed for my vb6 assets. Had to compromise on a couple points there. Can’t think of anything else right now, it’s been a slow gradual process for me, done in-between other tasks.

I note that TFS 2012 can only be installed on a 64 bit OS , so if you are on a 32 bit OS you cannot do an in-place upgrade, you need to migrate. This is for a local government authority, and there is a mix of project types in the current TFS 2008 repository from WPF, ASP.Net, Wiforms, VB.NET C#, VS2005, VS2008, and VS2010 format. I am wanting to find out if anyone else has gone down this path and what the experience has been like.
