To the best of my knowledge is wasn't move anywhere - even in forthcoming Beta 3 release it's still under Tools menu.
This could be an installation problem though. Could you check if you have 'Team Explorer' item in the View menu?
Thanks,
Alex
Assuming the RC/Beta 3 is the same as it was in the VSTS July CTP, it'll be fixed when TFS Beta 3 is released. For that install, the Team Explorer is installed off of the TFS installation disk. Team Explorer can be a stand-alone client tool (basically VS 2005 with the Team Explorer, version control and work item stuff but without any developer tools). If you install Team Explorer on a system with VS 2005 already installed, it becomes an add-in tool providing the VSTS functionality you've come to know and love.
Be patient. Beta 3 is almost here!
As I understand it, you're right. Actually, I believe you buy the license and you get Team Explorer for free
. But (again as I understand it), a license is included with a VS Team Edition and there might be a few additional licenses included with the server purchase.
