MSF 4 Beta

Yay, I've been waiting for this one...

MSF for Agile Software Development is a scenario-driven, context-based, agile software development process that utilizes many of the ideas embodied in Team System.

Like the earlier release, it's beautiful and easily navigable. My main wish at this point would be to make Process Guidance pages easier to find; Activities and Work Streams are two of those "get it?" pages but I couldn't find a path to them in under than 3 clicks and that's after I knew where they were. A Quick Start page with sections for Process, Roles, and Templates would be an improvement (where Process includes these links directly, I associate the overall workflow with "process" before "scenario"). Organize it with brief descriptions like the Overview, but with links. Heck, even on the Overview it's frustrating to see a whole page of content without a single link to drill-down through.

Wish #2 is be to see the templates organized by category in one place without going to Explorer.

All in all, an encouraging piece of work, looking forward to what's next.
