I’ve written a new column for Visual Studio Magazine on Team Explorer in Team Foundation Server 11:

With TFS 11, Microsoft has given Team Explorer a much-needed update, both visually and in terms of functionality. Team Explorer has turned into a new kind of tool window. Instead of multiple different windows/tabs in Visual Studio for the new functionality of TFS 11, Team Explorer is now a "frame" window that provides access to TFS 11. New tool windows (called "pages") are displayed in Team Explorer, depending on the functionality needed at the time.

If you haven’t checked out the TFS 11 Developer Preview yet, you really need to.  There is some GREAT stuff coming down the pipe.
