I have not been able to figure this out, but I was curious if you can float VS 2008 document tabs. Often times, I want to look at 2 documents, maybe the aspx file and the cs file on two different screens, but I can't drag one to the other screen, so I have to just switch back and forth. Is this possible?

You can create horizontal and vertical tab groups (from the Window menu).

Or, you can abandon the tabbed document approach and use MDI (Tools->Options).

Yeah, I have done that before, but I was hoping you can drag it to another screen just like they allow you to do with the properties window for example

Just tried the MDI approach, but it got kind of messy when you have many doucments and even when I did that, I could not drag a document to another screen, but thanks for the tip.

Visual Studio 2008 doesn't support floating document windows, but Visual Studio 2010 will.

I wonder why they didn't think of that?
