In order to use the integration between Team Foundation Server and Microsoft
Office & Microsoft Project, you need to install these products before you
install Team Explorer. With Team System
2010, Team Explorer is installed as part of the Visual Studio Ultimate 2010
installer so this means we need to install Office and Project before we install
Ultimate.
TFS allows you to edit Work Items with Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Project.
