[TFS Team Query] Provide non-admin user customization - columns, column order, sorted column(s)
By default, only TFS Project Administrators have permissions to change any aspect of a TFS Team Query. This makes sense for specifying the query criteria and maybe limiting the columns able to be displayed by the Contributor users.
BUT... each user with read access to the query should be able to customize their view of the query results. They should be able to save how they want the query sorted by default. They should be able to save which columns and in which order they want those columns in the query results grid.
It is a hassle to re-sort or…

Show files that were checked-in on Source Control Explorer History
When you right-click in VS 2010 in Source Control Explorer and click "View History...", you only see comments. You have to double-click on the changeset to see files!!! Just integrate it into the view in a tree fashion.

Tag filters need to work on the Kanban board
I love the tags in update 2 as they help with managing themes in our backlog. However, when I switch the view to the Kanban board I have no tags. Having this feature would enable us to use the kanban board really effectively....without it only small backlogs work. Help!

Add a filter, sorting or searching option for WI Process Editor (Field mask)
Today there is no option to sort, filter or search for field in the WI Process Editor (Field mask), therefore you spend quite a bit of time scrolling and searching for the wanted field definitions.

Allow Tag Filtering in Sprint Backlog
This is actually a bigger problem, that is of inconsistent experiences and functionality between Sprint and Product Backlogs. Whatever I can do in a product backlog I should be able to do in a sprint backlog.
One instance of this is in the new tag filtering. This can be done in the product backlog, but not the sprint backlog.
Here's another example of incosnstency:

Ability to customize build templates and run locally
Currently, in order to autor/customize a build template you have to check in the XAML file with small changes, test it by queuing a new build, and then re-do until you finish implementing all the changes.
This process is very tedious and time consuming (and the TFS changeset history you end up creating is not really nice either).I'd like the ability to author the XAML file and run it locally (and potentially debug easily too). Once I finish doing all the changes, then I can check-in the updates.

Provide all source control options on the context menu within Source Control Explorer
There are a lot more options available under File -> Source Control that are not available when right-clicking a folder, branch, solution, or file. It would be nice if the context menu had all the same options.

Provide archiving/re-integration of single Team Projects
we would appreciate an easy way to archive single Team Projects, so customer projects could also be delivered easily if our customer wants all project data into his local TFS after the project was finished.
The other scenario is cleaning out collections on a monthly/yearly period to remove but archive the data.

provide a dashboard at web access welcome page to visualize multiple team projects at same time
It would be very usefull to see multiple team projects information at a single dashboard.
We have been using the multiple team projects approach, recommended when you have some specific necessities. But as a portfolio
manager I would like to see those projects sprints in a unique page, and I think that would be simple to manage and control those team projects.

Provide a way to change UI language on TFService
While I'm okay with "state", "reason" and other fields being in English, because having a mismatch of values between languages would be a problem, I really wished the UI of TFService to be displayed in different languages, based on a setting.
Non English-speaking developpers are used to get their UI in English only, but for testers & quality service agents, not having a UI in their own language is often a problem.

Add possibility to track spent time in TFS for MS Scrum template
To use current Scrum template in the real life and real projects, we need to have an additional time tracking system to track spent time of each team member. This is not good for such serious/powerful product as TFS (including TFS online) with integrated work item tracking system, source control system, build services etc. If you want to release a competitive product - you must to think about this feature (even to add one simple column Spent time or to implement something like Log Work feature in Atlassian with GreenHopper).

Copy Work item shortcut
Bring back the feature of 'Copy work item shortcut'. Often times its easy to send the link to the task in email or over IM. Now the only options are - excel, project, outlook.

I would like to be able to prioritize by dragging and dropping within a release and an iteration.
I am currently using the tfspreview to manage my Scrum project. It seems great however it does not allow me to prioritize by dragging and dropping in the web client or team explorer within in a release or iteration (sprint). When planning large projects with multiple releases it is essential to be able to prioritize within the releases. The only way I can see right now to prioritize in those views is to change the backlog priority number which is very inefficient and not user friendly at all and hard to convince a product owner to prioritize that way.

Give me the ability to increase font size for display of work items and work item queries
If I'm in a status meeting projecting current work items and/or bugs from a work-item query onto a screen, there is no way to increase the size of the list without dropping my screen resolution. I can find font size tweaks for virtually every other part of the UI, but not for work items.

All administrative functions should be visible only to TFS Admins
Right now there are too many places admin links are are given to the end user. Even though user will not have access, links should also be hidden based on role (just like any other M$ product). All right click -> security, all admin links on Web UI and Team Explorer settings should only be visible to TFS admins.
