TFS 2008 Build, the major improvement

What's new in TFS 2008 ?

Besides the performance, scale, Workspace mapping and the many UI improvements, TFS 2008 brings some new features mostly for Team Build.
It provides Continuous Integration and Scheduled Builds out of the box, Multi-Threaded and Incremental Builds.

Builds can be created, updated, stopped and deleted easily using the improved UI. You can also integrate Team build with existing build systems like Nant, Ant, make, etc.
The following chart displays Team Build compatibility between TSF 2005 and TFS 2008 versions.


In addition to that both TeamExplorer can be installed in VSTS 2005, only VSTE 2008 will allow you to access all TeamBuild functionalities within TFS 2008.
