C# – Migrate from vs 2005 to vs 2008

cupgradevisual studiovisual-studio-2005visual-studio-2008

i work at a large company and we haven't distributed dotnet runtimes 3.0+ out to the desktops so we are all using vs 2005 and c# 2.0

is there any big benefit of moving to vs 2008 and still targeting 2.0 (since the runtime deployment will not be there soon) for the developers.

also, if the suggestion is to do the upgrade to vs 2008, are there any gotchas or things to worry about or prepare for.

Note: We are mostly doing winforms projects
