title: Visual Studio 2008 (2010 Ultimate Edition) cannot open a project
body: <p>A couple of us here in the office installed Visual Studio 2010 which after full installation we saw included visual studio 2008. 
  Now when we attempt to open 2008 projects in this edition of 2008  it fails with a long message about not supporting the project extension of .csproj. </p>
  
  <p>A bit more checking into it I see that there are no csharp or visual basic extensions installed for this edition of visual studio but mainly sql extensions. </p>
  
  <p>Can someone confirm if this edition of visual studio 2008 can be used for regular application (console, web, windows) development (if so how?) or if its only suited for sql development? </p>
