Visual Studio 2008 is almost released into the wild. Microsoft has promised that it will be available by the end of this month. One of the great new features of VS2008 is the ability to compile projects that target .Net 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. This is the first time since Visual Studio moved over to .Net that the toolset supports multiple frameworks.

There is a catch. Even though you can compile a 2.0 project with VS2008 you'll have to upgrade the project/solution files to the VS2008 format. That means if one person on your dev team moves to VS2008, the entire dev team for that project must be on VS2008. 

 When should BV move to VS2008? We'll have some people on the first day it's available asking why we're not shipping a VS2008 project. We'll have other people two years down the road complaining if we no longer support VS2005. Thoughts?
