Yesterday Microsoft announced the aquisition of Teamprise, the company providing access to TFS from other platforms and IDE. I think it’s great that Microsoft will provide a complete solution so hopefully this will make it even more natural to use TFS in an heterogenous development environment.

According to Mary-Jo Foley at ZDNet, the former Teamprise tools will be available as part of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or as a separate package;

New users will be able to buy Team Foundation Server plus Teamprise shipped as a single package. The bundle will be offered as part of Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate SKU or at retail for approximately $799.
