Things to keep in mind when migrating from VS2008 to VS2010

So, I'll be soon working on porting two APIs (C++ and C++/CLI) to use the VS2010 compiler. I think it'd be a good idea to have a head start on this. Any tips?

Just a little thing worth noting. In VS2010, you have the option of specifying the target framework.

Breaking changes to C++/STL projects are outlined here.

vs2010 will also use a different build mechanism in the for of MSBuild.

Unfortunately, the revamped Intellisense in vs2010 won't extend to C++/CLI which some people aren't too happy about, however native code developer can look forward to a more responsive environment (hopefully).

Tip #1: it's a beta! Don't expect RTM performance, stability, or anything else.
Tip #2: Report bugs! If you want it to ever stop acting like a beta, then you have to tell Microsoft about it on Connect (http://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio/).
