Data Dude Unveiled

It's official - Microsoft has announced a new team edition for Visual Studio Team System...  The Team Edition for Database Professionals adds great capabilities to help with the configuration management, tracking, collaboration, testing (etc.) of your SQL Server 2000 and 2005 databases. I had the privilege of seeing a demo a few days ago and it is going the be a great addition to the VSTS family.  I was really impressed by both the configuration management and the testing capabilities.  But simply that this acknowledges another important role and helps to integrate them with the rest of the VSTS team is exciting in itself.

If you've been sitting on the fence over whether to buy Suite or stick with a single edition, perhaps this new announcement will win you over to Team Suite.
