Team Foundation Server (TFS) has had a very nifty feature that is generally underutilized. "Compare" feature. Compare feature does exactly what it spells - it lets you compare two files or folders, both Server version and Local version.
There are many good usage scenarios for this feature:
1. Compare files files which are not in TFS. You do not need an additional compare utility if you have TFS client.
2. Compare folders which are not in TFS.
3. Compare local folders with folder present in TFS.
4. Compare folders that are present in TFS. I find it quite handy when I want to compare two TFS branches to find out if merge operation between the two is as expected. And of course, it lets you compare multiple files in two folders using filters.
