The feature is I am really look to play with is the TreeDiff functionality. A quick description of the features you get

1.    Unshelve – adds merge capability to the existing Unshelve command

2.    Rollback – allows you to undo a checkin of a changeset

3.    Online – allows syncing of files that you’ve edited while not connected to a server

4.    GetCS -- gets all the items listed in a specific changeset

5.    UU – undo unchanged. Undo checkout with a check for what’s actually unchanged

6.    Review – code review tool, review files in any order you choose

7.    History – display version history of a file, folder or branch

8.    Workitem – create, view or update a work item from the command line

9.    Query – run a work item query and display the results

10. Bind – convert VSS-bound solutions into TFS-bound solutions

11. TreeDiff – Compare folders and reconcile differences

12. Annotate – show who last changed a section of code
