Devin,

Thanks for the reply. So far things seem to be working well with NA 7.3 and VS2008 (knock on a wood-like surface). Are there any known gotchas that I should avoid until you guys do release an update?

Zack:

Obviously since its not released yet this comes with all of the usual pre-release caviots (we might change this, no guarentees, etc), but right now, yes, the plan is that customers with active subscriptions who are eligable to upgrade to 8.1 will automatically get Visual Studio 2008 support for our current assemblies, and will also get native .NET 3.5 compiled assemblies.

ZackJones,

I wouldn't know about the update path, your best bet would be to post a comment on the Product Manager's blog.  

Darrell,

The link above doesn't work because there's and extra "%20" tacked onto the end of it. If you remove the %20 characters it works.

In your bog post you said a release would be out in about 60 days or so. Will this be a free update to all of NA subscribers?
