I said explicitly that this is great because people don't want to have to install Team Explorer to manage work items. So I don't know what you are saying is false - it *was* great news for people who wanted to be able to manage work items and not install Team Explorer.<br /><br />The main good reason to use Teamprise is if you have business people who need to interact with your product backlog, and you don't want to put them through the ringer of installing a client software on their machine. It's designed for lightweight access. <br /><br />So, not sure what had your hopes up there, but I'm glad you were able to get it clarified. Get your hopes up?

So, not sure what had your hopes up there, but I’m glad you were able to get it clarified.
