The VSTS 2008 TFS Power Tools made their October Release (yes, in November) ... and it’s packed full of yummy goodness.

• A Windows Shell Extension (think Tortoise SVN)
• A new tfpt command: searchcs for searching checkins/date/user/path/comments, etc.
• Support for shelvesets in the tfpt command-line app.
• PowerShell Cmdlets with pipeline support (just starting, but there’s 17 cmdlets already)
• Team Members support: start Chat/phone/video calls through Communicator or Live Messenger (you can write plugins for others), see pending changes, get notifications on Checkins, etc.

I think you can see that some of this will work with CodePlex, and some wont, but I’m most interested in the shell extension and PowerShell cmdlets! I wonder if they should implement a PSProvider…
