Microsoft issues web access tool for TFS

ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft has released a long-awaited Web interface for Team Foundation Server. The Power Tool, dubbed Team System Web Access, is based on technology Microsoft acquired in March from DevBiz.

The company had already made the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of DevBiz's TeamPlain tool available for download, but did not provide customer support, according to a blog post from Brian Harry, a Microsoft distinguished engineer.

Team System Web Access was built atop the TeamPlain 2.0 codebase, Harry wrote, which Microsoft teams have extended with a series of changes.
