Visual Studio 2008/2010 Dilemma

Question

We have a project that is being developed by a third party. They use LINQ and .NET 3.5 with Visual Studio 2008. We are currently in 2005 with .NET 2. Once they have delivered the code to us, we are not sure if we can compile / build their code using our current toolkit. Visual Studio I know that we can download .NET 3.5, but are not sure if we had problems with Visual Studio.

So, we are planning to upgrade. But since Visual Studio 2010 will be released soon, are we waiting for this or are we updating to 2008?

This does not seem to be a problem. If you do not have operational needs, you can wait for VS2010 and / or even better, install and use a candidate for release (on a non-critical workstation / role) and get acquainted with new material.
