As you may have seen so far, there's a lot of love on my blog 
!
Even since I started programming (yes, it was called that back then), I always wanted to share my apps. It was always a great pleasure to see someone starting up you application and start trying it out. When I started to work as a developer, it was natural that my colleges got the code, rather than the binaries, as I wanted feedback both on the app and the code. Then the code sharing got organized within source control, version handling, and even configuration management systems. It was even easier to share, and we worked together on the same code, but I always felt that the tools was a limitation. I've used everything from raw CVS and SourceSafe to ClearCase, and I've had problems with them all.
First of all, they are no fun! For me, code is fun, and I want my code to stay in a fun place. A place where I can follow its development, its growth, its progress, and even its problems and issues. When I saw the TFS the first time, I thought that Microsoft was on the right track (as usual), and using it was more fun than before. But still, something was missing, and when CodePlex came around, there was an idea of how it could work. Then I saw TeamPlain. They put the extra effort in creating a great UX, and now the code was treated with respect and it was really fun.
Just check out the bug report on the left - that's fun!
I want to follow the progress of my code on a site like this. The fact that it was built on WSS is even better as it gives me even more "for free" (like free-text searching, site management, ability to extend and customize it using a standard approach, etc, etc).
Then, when I saw that Microsoft went and bought the creators, and made it available as a free download called Team System Web Access (TSWA), I was in heaven. Even if there's always more to dream about, there is already a lot to be grateful about too.
I haven't checked out the new features in VS2008 TFS, but I guess I won't be disappointed as I suspect that TSWA is already included.
