Can you install a standalone TFS client that doesn't need Visual Studio?

Is it possible to get a standalone TFS client on a server that does NOT have Visual Studio installed? We'd like a way to "reach into" a TFS project from a server, without having to install Visual Studio?

Possible? I've seen Team Explorer, but will that work without Visual Studio?

Is TFS the same as Visual Studio?

TFS supports agile development practices, multiple IDEs and platforms locally or in the cloud and gives you the tools you need to effectively manage software development projects throughout the IT lifecycle. Visual Studio Professional Edition provides an IDE for all supported development languages.

Is TFS free?

TFS will provide us with 5 user free of charge, which means we can have up to 5 free user at the same time. If you delete one of them and replace him with someone else, that number will still be identified as 5. If you need to get 6 or more, you need to make a purchase.

Team Explorer 2008 will allow you to connect to TFS, but it will install a Visual Studio shell.

Team Explorer Everywhere has Web access. Martin Woodward wrote a great article about it.
