Licensing question

Folks,
I am having some problem identifying which license I need for my project and
I am desperately searching for three things:

1- a matrix comparison of feature available in the different version of
Visual Studio 2008 and team edition?
2- the requirements of the different product version and SQL server? (i.e.
will the entity framework work with SQL server 2005?)
3- the necessity or not to have the team foundation server for a team of
5-10 person and the impact on the licensing

Anything that can help me shape the licensing picture would be welcome;
there ought to be some sort of Microsoft vendor somewhere and its whole job
is to help me figure this out. Any pointer how to contact sales support
would be great...

Thanks

Remi

Product comparison for VS2008 Team system editions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/vsts.../cc149003.aspx

We can probably help. Do I presume correctly that you want to use TFS, but
you will have fewer than 6 people using it? If so then you should get an
MSDN premium with a Team Edition subscription (e.g. Visual Studio Team
System 2008 Development Edition with MSDN Premium) for each person. Each
subscription comes with a TFS CAL, and if you have at least one team system
subscription then you can use TFS workgroup edition for free which allows
you to have up to 5 licenced users.

I'm not sure what you mean about SQL Server licencing. If you get a Team
Edition subscription for each developer then they will each have a SQL
Server Developer Edition licence for writing apps against.
