Maybe a bit too forward thinking. One of our dev teams hit a bug in Visual Studio 2008, where the /O2 optimization flag wouldn't be passed all the way down to the compiler executable if the solution file was converted from 2003/2005 to 2008. KB958148. Microsoft's answer? Based on this and what our team heard back, it's fixed in 2010, and thats that. No patch to 2008 is expected.

That would all be fine and dandy if our teams could move to 2010. Problem is, they are waiting on a certain company, called Microsoft, to release support for 2010 for some little game console they make. That, and support for Direct X wasn't supported on 2010 until 4 days ago. Every time they pull in an old solution file, potentially from middleware upgrades or whatever, they have to be mindful of this bug until they can move to 2010.
