Is it possible to use a platform builder 5.0 SDK in visual studio 2010 for a C++ project. I want to compile code for a specific ARM WinCE 5.0 environment and I have VS2010 at the moment. The Microsoft website recommends visual studio 2005. I'm currently downloading the VS2005 evaluation but I'm also a bit worried about installing this on a machine that already has vs2010 installed. Any advise would be greatly received.

Read this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2775639/eta-on-smart-device-projects-for-visual-studio-2010
In short, Visual Studio 2010 does not currently support Smart Device projects so you cannot do what you want. You can use either VS2008 or VS2005 for Smart Device application development.
VS2005 and VS2010 on the same machine should not pose a problem as far as I know. You can read this msdn forum and this SO question in that regard.

Boy, Microsoft are all over the place when it comes to Windows Mobile devices, aren't they?

He wasn't asking about Windows Mobile, but about Windows CE. Just this little clarification shows how bad the naming scheme by Microsoft is. I can't say much about application development, but their marketing guys must improve soon.
