Does Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Include a TFS server?

Question

I recently downloaded Visual Studio 2010 beta 2, and was told it included a TFS server. However I am unsure of if it has/can be installed, or how to start it up if it has been.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?

Thanks :)

Thanks for your help :)

I am downloading the ISO of the separate product instead from msdn.

Answer 1

No, beta 2 doesn't include in VS 2010 a TFS. but you can get the beta for TFS 2010 seperate.

Answer 2

VS 2010 with MSDN will include TFS. The MSDN subscription is what licenses you for TFS 2010. You still need a licensed Windows server on which to install it. TFS needs an installation of SQL Server to run. You may use an existing server or you are licensed to run an instance of SQL 2008 express on the application server with TFS 2010.

I believe that you can use the "Go Live" licensing with the 2010 RC now if you already have a subscription.
