We are trying to set up a continuous integration environment in J2EE and .NET.

In J2EE, no problem. One choice: open source projects: Maven and its friends, ...

In .NET, we are facing a dilemma. Do we have to use .NET open source projets (CruiseControl.NET, NUnit, NDoc, ...) or wait for Team System ? Both have pros and cons.

TeamSystem:
+ fully integrated to VS2005
+ fully supported by Microsoft
+ provided as a package: you install it and use it
- no user experience yet
- cost

Open Source:
+ strong community
+ it's working : user experience
- lake of documentation
- cost. Even if it's free, you have many hidden costs as you have to download all the softwares, install them, and configure them to work with each other .Theses steps can really be time consuming.

So, what do you think about this guys ?
