Sometimes I would like to undock a source file and slide it over to another monitor while editing another file. How do you do this in Visual Studio 2008?
A:
No, it's not possible. It's a new feature of VS 2010 (Finally ;)) If you don't need any plugins and IDE extensions (i.e. Resharper) just download Visual studio 2010 beta.

I don't believe you can do that in Visual Studio 2008.
You can do it in Visual Studio 2010: you right-click on the document's tab and click "Float". Not that that helps you much. 8-)

A:
In your solution explorer
right click >> open with >> add
Browse to the visual studio exe (devenv.exe) to add it to the open with list
Now when you choose 'open with visual studio' it will open it in a new instance that you can drag to your other screen

I think it's not a good solution - every time you edit that file you will get irritating prompt that sth has been changed outide IDE
