Team Foundation Server is going Free!

Team Foundation Server Express will be released as a free version of Team Foundation Server with many of the same features that are offered in the full release version of Team Foundation Server. 

I imagine that Microsoft is doing this as part of their strategy to get rid of their existing Visual SourceSafe user base.  Microsoft has already announced that they will not be supporting Visual SourceSafe in the near future and there will be no future development progress on this platform, so now is as good a time as any to begin adopting the Team Foundation Server Platform.
