    Does VS2010 have .vcproj project compatibility with VS2008? Will it be possible to open the same project in VS2008 after conversion in VS2010? or keep them both appended to the same project to be able to work with the same project in either VS2008 or VS2010? Is it possible to install the both on the same machine?

      It is definitely possible to install both on the same machine. VS2010 will convert VS2008 projects when opened. A new project file will be created with extension .vcxproj. The old project file with extension .vcproj will remain unchanged. The only file that is going to be overwritten is the .sln file. After conversion, the .sln file will reference the .vcxproj file. You will still be able to open the .vcproj files in VS2008. If your solution has multiple projects, you will need to maintain 2 copies of the .sln file. This will have to be done manually in which case, after conversion, create a new .sln file and add all the old .vcproj files into it.
