We upgraded from VS2003 to VS2008 a few months ago and the only issue we ran into was in the conversion of existing projects from VS2003 to VS2008. It seems there are a few issues with optimization settings from converted projects. Some of our projects that were showing as having /O2 optimization, where actually being built with no optimization. We just decided to re-create the projects in VS2008 and have not had any issues since then.
