    Anybody's company planning to use it? Do you think it makes sense for teams of <=5 developers? S. Somasegar's blog post[^]

    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

          Well I'm using half of what they consider to be Visual Studio Online (TFS services), and I greatly enjoy using the free TFS, its really changed the way I work and store code. Its very usable, simple, and keeps me organized. Not sure if I'd do online code editing though, I do like IDE features.

            My tin hat would shrink by a number of millimetres, personally I'm way too paranoid to have any of my day to day tools anywhere but local. And the bank I work for is even more so - and I approve :laugh: .

              Agreed. I signed up for the TFS online, but haven't put any of my projects into it yet. I guess I'm afraid they will start charging one day.

                  As of now it's free up to 5 developers. If you want to add more then you got to pay. I hope we can make use of it until they give it for free and hope it will be in future. It's really a good thing to use say if a small group of individuals or freelancers working together in some projects. Thanks,

                        We (2 Users) are using TFS Online for over a year now, and it works just fine. No problems so far.

                          Sorry I guess that was quit cryptic, when Adobe went to the cloud with Photoshop there was a big outcry and I predicted that a lot of large companies would be offering the same. At least uSoft is giving the option of owning a copy also.

                            I can see a use for it as an online scratchpad that I can reference from anywhere, similar to how I use Google Docs. It will also be useful as an accompaniment to my Pluralsight training subscription as I can try out code as I watch the videos and then continue, as and when, from wherever I happen to be - home or work. I currently use Cloud 9 in this manner. I've watched a few of the videos and it does look very slick. I have a login but haven't gotten round to exploring it yet. I can't see a scenario for doing production work with it though, at least, not yet.

                              Shall we start the count down clock for when the security of someone's project gets compromised? Or the server crashes and takes all their source code and the backups were broken?

                                No and no. I prefer doing development that isn't relying on an Internet connection. The beach comes to mind. :) Marc

                                  I'm already using it since the very first beta, it is great and it does remove all the problems associated with maintaining a server, backup, hardware failure, upgrades, electricity usage, rack space... all this is gone! Out of the box you get free build servers (up to 60mins per month), you get free process templates (the Agile template is great!), discussion rooms, etc... downloading source code to your local workspace is actually quite fast (well if your broadband is decent) I never had any issue with having to wait. I can understand that some people who are either are very worried about security, or request extremely fast data access, or have niche build requirements will still want to have their own server. But otherwise it does not make sense to keep using old fashion servers. I'm a convert, I love it. I can't imagine going back to good old TFS and connecting to my office remotely using a cranky old VPN... No way to make me go back.

                                    Our company is definitively NOT planning to use it. My boss and I share the opinion that EVERY network is inherently unreliable.
