But sometimes there is no wining...

Wit-It! – Outlook Add-in for TFS Work Item Alerts After a small talk with Guy Burstein he comes up with a Great Idea : use outlook form region to show Work Item from Team System. Then I remembered that working with Event Email in Team System are so irritating. You can customize Event Emails to work with Team System Web Access but then you can’t open the work item in XML (sometimes you may need it) But then I noticed that not everyone have TSWA and even this sometimes can be irritating(slow...
