Provide Central Overview of ALL Projects in the Team Foundation Service and allow Capacity to be set as a global value for each Member
The Team Foundation Service would be an even more powerful tool to be able to see and set what the entire Teams capacity is in one place. This is for ease of project planning as opposed to setting this at the point of a sprint. Allow a central capacity value for each member and combine the Member remaining capacity in each project to stop over allocating or double booking a Member.

Intelli-Sence for nullable enum properties and field
example
enum E { a, b, c }
class Foo
{
public E? Bar {get; set;}
}when I type "new Foo().Bar = " I expect, that popup with enum E will be shown like if property Bar is of type E.
This also applies to "==" operator.

Re-enable key features from the Test Results window
I can load a TRX into the Test Results window in VS2012, but I can't do anything with those tests. Run, debug, and open are all disabled. WHY would this window be available and not be allowed to run tests the way we did in 2010?
We run 15,000+ tests nightly against our products and the lack of these features is keeping our QA team from moving to 2012. Update 2 did not address these issues. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Text Explorer, no matter how good you say it is because it doesn't fit OUR needs.

New Window option for Razor views
Although I can easily split a Window, it would be nice to have the ability for a second Window of the same view to maximum the use of having dual screens.

Importing Testcases to MTM tool
There are couple of power tools available in market to import testcases from Excel to Team Fondation Server. However, there are no working tool available to import testcases written in Microsoft Word Document (.doc/docx).
Test Migrator Plus claims to suport importing of tests from word document but it doesn't work.It would be good to have a tool which supports importing of tests from Miicrosoft Word Document as most of the process templates are created as word document (.doc/.docx) in many of the industries.

Add Style Rule
I have notices that Add Style Rule is missing in VS 2012. It was present in VS 2010. Could this feature be added to VS 2012?

Option for exporting test results with the actuals in MTM tool
There is no option available to export test results along with the comments/actual results entered during manual test execution.
But, most of the companies demand the tesport along with actual results as part of quality process.Ideally, the quality process expects the following as part of test report:
Testcase ID
Testcase name
Test Step/Action
Expected Results
Actual Results/Comments
LInks if any
Machine details: May be Operating systemm information will be enough
Build detailsWe can acheive this by creating our own SSRS schema and deploying it on TFS server. However, it would be good to have an option at Test…

Rename items in "Recent" list on Start Page
At my company, I can be working in different source branches at the same time, meaning I can have a list of many different recent projects on the Start Page. However, since all the solution files are named the same (just in different branches), I have to hover over each item in the list to see where it is physically located to determine which one I need to open.
If we had the ability to rename the entries in the "Recent" list, I could give each item a name that tells me which branch that specific solution is in.
It's…

Make TFS source code compare better
We use TFS 2012 as our ALM tool and VS2012 as our development tool. I found comparing source code on web page(from TFS) is not as good as visual studio diff tool. Since TFS allow user to compare source code, it's better to make it more user friendly so customers can benefit more from their investment.

Chart axis numeric type property
Would it be possible to expand the Chart properties to allow the number format for the axis to be set as Integer/Decimal etc?
Even if IntervalType is set to IntervalType.Number, when the numbers are small integers (from a DataTable source) we still see decimal-placed numbers in the axis. This appears to conflict with the underlying DataTable.Column.DataType.
An example I found to illustrate this is here:

Implement pull request for git repositories in TFS with online diff view and commenting much like on GitHub.
On GitHub it's possible to maintain a master repository to which contributers can issue pull requests from their forks or local repositories. You can then have gate keepers who review the changes and approve or reject them based on the quality. When rejecting a change they can add comments about necessary changes and so on. This is a great practice to ensure greater quality in the finished product and for some of our projects a requirement for us to consider TFS rather than GitHub. This functionality should be implemented in TFS online so that Visual Studio is not required for…

Add a Merge button to the Changeset Details dialog (Team Explorer)
Merging a changeset seems like an extremely common action from having it open in team explorer. The other ways to initiate a merge are long-winded and awkward (select full or partial merge, select source branch, wait for changeset list to load, find the wanted changeset etc.)

Easy non-enterprise applications for multiple companies
Make it easy to create Lightswitch applications for the general market where many companies - each with their own user-base - can signup and use the Lightswitch application.
It should be easier to leave the departmental paradigm behind and use Lightswitch to create standalone offerings for multiple and often smaller companies.

Introduce data type "file" (not only "image") including upload/open commands
In many cases, it would be helpful to add a file to a record (e.g. an office document or a PDF). There should be native support to upload a file and to open/download a stored file. I know there are workarounds using Silverlight/XAML, but we would appreciate having such functionality built-in.
