I am pretty new in source control installation and inner workings, although I already had worked with TFS, I have no clue about how to make it work from scratch.
Basically I want to have some source control in my personal VS2010 projects, so I may see the code evolution, rollback and etc. but I am a little lost about how may I set it up…as far as I can see, I have to have a Team Foundation Server running, so is it possible to install one in my PC? Is it free? Or there is a better way for doing it?
I just want some simple tips like “hey man, here are the steps you should follow” or “this is impossible, you have to have a server” or “follow this tutorial”
Thanks a lot guys!

[Disclaimer: I work on TFS and tfspreview.com]
If you are looking for ease of set up and a free offering then I would highly recommend tfspreview.com. While it is still in “preview” mode, it is certainly usable and safe. The site itself also has a great “learn” section to help you get started. The best part is that it has features available that haven’t even been released in the on-premises product yet and the development team is consistently adding new features.
If you have any questions about the service, I’d be glad to answer them.
Oh, one other note, to connect to the hosted service you will need to install the VS 2010 compatibility GDR but that is free also.
