Nooooooo, perchè fanno queste cose... una volta che il tool faceva la cosa giusta, ecco un add-in che ci riporta indietro nel tempo... 
And again about the famous issue of the TFS version control – Get latest version on check-out. I hear this question from many customers which migrate from VSS to TFS – "How can we configure TFS to get latest version on check-out, like in VSS?". I wrote a little Add-In for VS2005 that performs silent GetLatest action when the user requests CheckOut. The Utility is configurable through the configuration menu which is located under the "Tools" menu of VS.
You can enable or disable the add-in action and configure the TFS server properties. This is the Beta version and not yet fully tested, so use it carefully. And please report me for bugs…
