TFS vs. BuildMaster - A Comparison

Question

We're often asked how BuildMaster and Microsoft Team Foundation Server compare, especially given that, in theory, TFS could do most of what BuildMaster does.

2. How much work will be involved in adapting the tool to solve the problem?
3. What will the ongoing costs be in maintaining the adaptations as business requirements and the underlying platforms change?
