When viewing files in a shelveset, I would like the option of comparing the files to my current local version. Unfortunately, the only options available are "With Unmodified", "With Workspace" (I guess this one would be the answer, if it wasn't disabled) and "With Latest". Any ideas? ...

We do this using the 'Advanced' button on the checkin dialog now (with Merant, nee PVCS) but the 'Advanced' button is disabled when I set TFS as my SCC provider. Is there a switch we can flip on either side to enable this? Or do we need to write some custom extension? Or can I get the TFS changeset number to associate with the change...
I want to use the new report builder 2.0, rather than the old VS2005 integrated report builder for the new features and ease of use, but source control integration is a must. I don't see any ability to use TFS natively, and I have installed the TFS MSSCCI Provider, all with no love. Does anyone know how to get them to play well, or am ...

We have recently switched from the Rational stack (ClearQuest/ClearCase etc..) over to TFS 2008 for our .NET group and one of the challenges that we are seeing are some of the limitations of the Team System Web Access as far as what work items a client can view.
