Aside from the requirement on Visual Studio Team System to be able to install Microsoft.Contacts with the static checker, is it possible to run the static checker without team system? Or, does it depend on an API exposed by studio's team system components?
Also, is it within the license to copy the static checker from a computer with team system to one with professional?
I believe you can currently get it under an academic licence, but I personally expect that the version integrated with .NET 4.0 and VS2010 will only be available under team system. Darned shame IMO, but such is life :( While you might technically be able to copy the checker from a VSTS system to a Pro system, I expect that would break the licence conditions.
(Aside from anything else, it means I'll have to download the VSTS version of beta 2 when that comes out, just to check what it all looks like for the book... I'll install in a VM to avoid polluting my laptop's Pro installation.)
