Even Better Access to Team Foundation Server

Starting today, Microsoft is eliminating the requirement to purchase Team Explorer Everywhere separately.  Before today, Team Explorer Everywhere users had to purchase both a Client Access License (CAL) and the Team Explorer Everywhere software, whereas Visual Studio Team Explorer users only had to purchase a CAL – the Visual Studio Team Explorer software has always been a free download (TE 2008, TE 2010, TE 11 Beta) for users who had a license to access a TFS server.  Starting today the story is the same for Team Explorer Everywhere (TEE 2010 with SP1, TEE 11 Beta).
