If I was making htat decision, I would get a copy of 7...developer edition would do the trick...and start to convert the code. Once 8 is available, then you can just copy that over into 8. I have some old code written back in the 4.5 days, luckily I didn't have anything in there that was depreciated, so everything still works fine on the beta for 8. Everything from 5 on seems to work fine as well...so you could have everything up in running in 7...run that in 8...freeing you up later to start reengineering projects with some of the new features introduced since 5. This would be on a dev server, so that the migration to a full version of 8 can take place and a switch over to 8 being the live version would be transparent.
Eric BTW...congrats on your new job!
