TFS 2008 support?

Question

 

Is there a plan to upgrade Power Tools for TFS 2008? How about a list of tools that can be used as is for '08 versus those that won't work?  Can anyone provide an estimate on timing?  By quarter perhaps?

 

Thanks.

According to Brian Harry's post:-

We should find the exact schedule soon - but sounds like mid-December this year.

I'm pretty sure all the power tools will work in a VS 2005 client against a TFS 2008 server - I certainly haven't noticed any issues or heard of any.  Obviously, the VS 2008 Team Explorer contained some features that used to be a power tool (such as folder diff and annotate).  The 2008 ones contain some new things.  You'll need the 2008 version of the power tools to work with the 2008 client - and like I say we should hopefully see these soon.
