Take a look at TSWA - Team System Web Access. It's easy to set up, uses the same groups and permissions as TFS and you can access it from anywhere inside your network using Internet Explorer. You can give access to people who don't have Visual Studio installed. This makes it nice for bug tracking and review by interested stakeholders. It's light weight enough that some of the developers in my group prefer it to opening VS to enter time or look at new tasks.
Something fun about the tool is that if you open a work item and scroll down to the bottom of the details tab, you'll see a little diagram of all the states the work item has gone through. You can see in a moment how many times the bug has gone from development to test, back to development and back to test (ugh!).
The best part is that it's probably part of your Team Foundation Server package so you probably already own the software. Enjoy.
