I just downloaded MSVS 2010 from university MSDN AA. The IDE itself is wonderful, I can't complain, but...

I'm developing project that combines C#, C++/CLI and C++ (native core, cli bridge DLL and c# GUI). But the VS 2010 seems NOT TO support targeting .NET for C++/CLI projects unless VS 2008 is installed. Requiring both VS 2010 and 2008 installed is in my opinion kind of unreasonable for open-source project. Thee only other solution is targeting .NET 4.0.

Do you think it is already time to start releasing applications requiring .NET 4.0? Couldn't it deter potential users since it is so new and not yet exactly wide-spread?

A: 

I don't see why it's too soon, users can download it easily and they're gonna have to download it eventually anyway right?
