I just got Visual Studio Team System set up so I can work with some projects that our team in Redmond has been building. However, I was stumped when it came time to fire up Team Explorer– it isn’t installed by default. However, a quick application of google-fu led me to this article, which explains that you get Team Explorer from the Team Foundation Server distribution. Of course that’s where you’d look; how silly of me to think that there might be a big fat “TEAM EXPLORER” link somewhere in the cavernous VSTS installer.
