If you need to rollback TFS changeset, and getting this error:

C:\>tfpt rollback
Unrecognized command: rollback.

Its because rollback command was moved to TF command-line utility, which can be fount at:

<drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE and is available from the Visual Studio 2010 Command Prompt.

Never take a 64-bit dump of a WOW64 application. If you're on Windows x64, actually BY DEFAULT you'll be taking a 64-bit dump; so to take a correct 32-bit dump you have to manually start the 32-bit task manager (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\taskmgr.exe).

Otherwise half the functionality of WinDBG will not work, even with !wow64exts.sw. For example, you will be able to do !threads, but not !clrstack; !dumpheap -stat but not !gcroot.

Example error message (same as at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6914291/how-do-i-debug-around-module-overlap-in-windbg-using-sos):
