VSTS (Visual Studio Team System) is a complete Change Management system, if
that is what you mean by CRM.
Bits included:
* Integration with Team Portal (SharePoint)
* Integration with Microsoft Project - for work items
* Prescriptive guidance for projects
* Source Control System - Enterprise level, much stronger than VSS
* Quality Reports and other metrics
* Work item tracking for source
In the VS 2005 IDE, you also have different designers, depending on SKU,
from logical system designers to class designers, etc. There is also a unit
testing framework and basic build mechanism (not completely automated,
however).

I was just assigned a project at work to setup a CRM web system. However from
what I have heard Visual Studio 2005 Team System is suppose to be a CRM
system. Is it a metholodologythat Microsoft recommends? (Is it like the
current Visual Studio.NET best practices and procedures Microsoft recommends?)
Is Visual Studio 2005 Team System a methodolgy that is already setup in
the Visual Studio.NET 2005 system? For example, is it a feature like Crystal
reports is?
You can use Crystal reports currently if everything is setup correctly. Will
Visual Studio 2005 Team System be the same thing, a component that can be
used?
Would you explain this to me or point me to url that explains what Visual
Studio 2005 Team System actually is?
