One Team Project to rule them all
I have talked often of the idea of a Project of Projects in Team Foundation Server and with the new feature in Visual Studio 2012 Team Foundation Server I though it would make sense to revisit.

Installing TFS 2012 with Lab Management 2012
I have been onsite this week in California to deploy TFS 2012 and Lab Management for a company in the computer game industry. Because of limited time I am doing the full install in one day and thus will not be getting any of their builds or environments to work today. This is purely an install and test of the happy paths. I have loads of time over the rest of the week running workshops for the customer to bring their guys up to speed on how to do everything else.
