The major objective of Labels Sidekick is to provide easy and efficient UI for viewing labels and their contents (including work items and changesets) and for performing comparison between different labels.
But please note that operations related to changesets and work items may be quite performance intensive and take significant amount of time.
Using the occasion, I would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and to thank all users of our applications for great feedback and cooperation (and of course great thanks to Microsoft TFS team for assistance).
And do not forget - for Happy TFS year, start new year 2007 by using Labels Sidekick and make your life a little easier!
