I have a Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate version and would like to use it with Team Foundation Server 2012. Is the native VS 2010 Team explorer enough or should I install something else to fully support the new Team foundation Server 2012?

VS 2010 will natively connect to an on premises installation of TFS 2012 and it will be able to do all of the things that it could do with a TFS 2010 server. There are a few features new to TFS 2012 (like local workspaces) that are only available if you have a VS 2012 client.

If you want to connect to tfspreview.com (TFS's new hosted service) then you will need the VS 2010 hosting GDR: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?DownloadID=39070
