Using Beyond Compare with TFS

We’re using Team Foundation Server for source control, but Microsoft’s diff/merge tool is CRAP compared to Beyond Compare. We had configured Visual Studio’s TFS integration to use BC for file comparisons, but not for merges. I found a great article on how to configure that (for multiple tools, not just BC) today.

(I haven’t tried merging with this yet, so be sure to test it!)

Not satisfied by BeyondCompare. Tried Araxis and ECMerge. ECMerge lacks some features, but cheaper... I think I'll get this one.

I use winmerge and find it pretty good. Was using diffmerge too. They are both free. I could always use more features though.

The name truewill is composed of two other words. What is the SECOND word?
