Team Foundation Service Preview: Team Build
Nov 24, 2011 at 10:51 AM@Violet_Tape: You are correct. We changed how the build controllers and agents work in TFS 2011. They now call home and communicate via the Application Tier then keep that channel open so that the AT can send messages back when it needs to do something. This way you don't need to worry about IP addresses, NAT traversal, reverse proxying etc. It should all just work provided the build controller has access to a internet connection (even if that connection is proxied). This is one of the reasons why you need to install the TFS 11 version of the build agent to get it work with tfspreview.com
Hope that makes sense. Let us know how you get on.

Sep 15, 2011 at 1:26 AM@abhijit:The Remaining Work be default is in hours. That was a deliberate decision as it makes you evaluate how long you have left on this task which actually what you care about. What you don't care about is how accurate your initial estimate was or having all your tasks getting to 80% done and then staying there
Does that make sense?

Aug 18, 2006 at 2:32 AMSee the following help on the CodePlex site to get more information on obtaining the client:-
http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=CodePlex&title=Obtaining%20the%20Team%20Explorer%20Client
Obvioulsy, people can still contribute to a project by submitting bugs etc via the web interface in which case they don't need any thing but a browser.
Cheers,
Martin.
