There are people who needs to work with different source code providers. It could be fine choose the source code provider for each solution, instead of a global option at IDE level.

The pending changes view only offers one flat list of changed files. If you work on more than one topic in parallel it is quite cumbersome to check-in only the files from your workspace that cover that topic. Shelving does not really help here. Having the possibility to assign changes to certain groups would help a lot.

The hosted build controller in Team Foundation Server Preview should support building of Windows 8 applications.

Currently, if you have branched two branches into the same directory, and then you want to branch the parent directory, you need to change the two branches back to a folder (remove visualiation) and then you can proceed.

It would be great to have access to the reporting capabilities in the Warehouse and the Cube to enhance the analysis capabilities with TFS Preview. Especially around testing and other such capabilities we would really benefit from having some degree of reporting access (even if it was just against SQL Azure and didn't provide cube access)

Allow to use fullfeatured TFS build agent on linux machines

As an organization with 25+ developers and 15+ ongoing/supported projects for several customers, we need the ability to group our team projects into different project collections.

I am sure we are not the only ones.

I've recently discovered that the fantastic new "My Work" section of Team Explorer that is enabled with TFS 2012 is not available in Visual Studio 2012 Professional. The My Work feature is one of the tenets of TFS 2012, as it defines and enables a new and much improved workflow. To limit it to VS Ultimate is to cripple one of the basic features of TFS 2012 for the majority of Visual Studio users.

Version Control

When you right-click in VS 2010 Solution Explorer it would be great to have a shortcut there that opens up Source Control Explorer immediately showing the selected file.

Currently a user is required to open Source Control Explorer and manually expand (and know) all the folders in the path to get to the desired location.

Working on Visual Studio, when you open a work item query, the results window shows its contents in the horizontal split view. If we prefer the vertical split view, we have to change it every time we open the window. Team explorer should have a way to configure this behavior. The same happens for folder/flat view in pending changes window.

Today in order to create notifications, I have to create one per user under my user account. There is no way to create a rule for notifications, such as when a work item gets changed, notify the assigned to user, no matter who that user is. Today we have to create a rule like this for every user. And, this rule is not shared, so if another admin wants to tweak the rule, he can't because its under my account.

We have multiple fields related to the iteration of the bug. The first is the iteration the bug was discovered in, the second is the target fix iteration, and the last is the actual fix iteration. We would like to be able to have each of these three pull from the Iterations list in work items. While we can make the first and last regular text fields, this may result in typos and thus degrade search. It also requires users to know the iterations available.

Our project releases are usually high in bug count and it would be great to see them in the board to view them as a part of the burn down chart.

As a work item customizer, I want to be able to easily define the Area and/or Iteration path fields as a REQUIRED field (which is not possible today with TFS 2010 easily).

It is confusing to my team that when a Product Backlog Item is marked as Done and all associated tasks are marked as done that the story remains on the board in its default state.

My assumption is that it would show up collapsed and either move to the bottom of the list or change colors to "gray out".
