Features of Visual Studio 2005 that is not in Visual Studio 2008

+2 A:

I think there are at least some Web Service Extensions which are available for 2005 but not 2008, because I've come across that as an issue before.

However, you can install both side-by-side. Why not install VS2008 alongside VS2005 for the moment, and then uninstall VS2005 in six months if you find it's not missing anything you actually use?

The computer that I'm referring to is a company service unit Jon, and I don't have enough disk space (yes, its sad, they always issue low capacity harddisks).

So demand a second one, they can't be worth more than $5 if they don't have space for both.

@yoitsfrancis: BlueRaja is right. Ask the company how much your time is worth to them, compared with the cost of a hard disk. It really doesn't make economic sense to be cheap with developer systems.
