Looking at migrations of several tfs servers with 100+ users, I got the urgent need to track and inform users not already upgraded vs2008 & vs2005 with forward compatibility pack. Tracking is easy, I use the Tfs Scorecard and its activity logging features to figure out who is running vs200 RTM and SP1 clients. The problem is that I don't get a good list to paste into a mail, due to reports format and user formats.
Easier to send mail
After looking at the report a number of times and thinking " It would be good to have an send mail button" I finally did something about it. In the Tfs Scorecard clients report I added a list of user accounts and a Send Email link creating a new email with all email addresses, visible if you expand the first level.
This latest feature is now available in source control at http://tfsscorecard.codeplex.com , direct link http://tfsscorecard.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/changes/46822
