Team Foundation Server Targets the mass market
eWeek | at | by Mike
With the recent release of the Team Foundation Server component of its Visual Studio 2005 Team System, Microsoft bolstered its effort to take its mass-market software story into the enterprise, and the company says this is only the first step.
Rick LaPlante, general manager of VSTS, said, "This is a mass-market approach. We go to customers, and we talk to them about this mass-market playthis mass-market price point, this mass-market ease of use." However, LaPlante added, "I don't think the enterprise tools business will ever be mass--market in the way Visual Basic was. But should we sell more than 30,000 licenses a year or whatever the market is doing? Yes."
