Essential Unified Process (essUP) and Team Foundation Server (TFS)

I was considering the Essential Unified Process (essUP) Team Foundation Server (TFS) template when I thought MS was offering it as a free resource. In this blog I point to a couple of articles that lead me to believe it would be a free resource delivered by Microsoft. I thought it was their solution to offering a middle ground between their MSF for Agile Software Development and MSF for CMMI Process Improvement process guidance. I guess not.

I have not heard anything about the essUP except that you can now buy the essUP through a services purchase here.

Here it is posted as being accessible from within Visual Studio Team System (VSTS). But it does not say if there will be a charge for it or not. Any one out there hear anything about it????

If it is not a free resource that comes with the price of TFS and VSTS, I doubt we will use it.
