"...XNA Game Studio is not supported on any member of the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 product line or any pre-released version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008...."

This may be the break through edition for XNA development. There's some serious coolness in this release.

I do hope VS2008 support is added in a near future SP as I'd really like to standardize on VS2008 (cause you see my home machines don't have that much HD space left and four editions of VS [VS2003, VS2005, C# 2005 Express, VS2008] is at least two too many... call me selfish... ;)
