I am not "from" Microsoft, but I think I can give you some insight. For more
info, consider posting in the MSDN forum, as the MSDN people watch it.

Hello,
I am evaluating MS Team Suite. we need to decide which edition is the most
benefit for US. if you have some experience or knowledge about MS Team
Please
Help.
I assume you are working with the MSDN trial.
? What are the requirements to install MS Team Suite Trial version.
Hardware and OS Requirements:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/tea.../aa718687.aspx
? Does TFS is part of the trial software version?
I believe the workgroup version is on the same disk. This allows up to five
people to use TFS.
? What are the requirements to install MS Team Suite version.
Not sure what you mean other than the hardware and OS requirements.
? Does TFS is part of the MS team for developer edition?
All Team SKUs come with the workgroup edition (5 users), including
Architect, Developer, Tester, Database and the full Suite.
? Do we need to buy TFS as a different product? If so how much will cost.
If you have more than five users, you do have to buy it. Retail is about
$3000. If you are a partner or have some other agreement (volume, etc.) the
price may be lower.
? If we decided to buy one edition of MS Team such as MST for developer
edition, Does TFS Requires to have windows 2003 server? What are the
requirements to install TFS?
TFS does require Windows 2K3 Server. It also requires SQL Server, but SQL
Server Standard ships with the product, so there is no additional fee unless
you are a large enough team to require installation of the SQL Server
portion on another box. The installation guide will give you a better idea:

Do we get free support such as in installation...etc and for how
long?
Not sure on this one.
BTW, I am fully sold on TFS. There is a new guide you should look at if you
are seriously considering it, however:
