You might want to make some tests to be sure.

Some of the post that I have read have spoke about a patch that I needs to be install. The patch from my understanding is only valid for Visual Studio 2005 and not Visual Studio 2003.

I think that even with VS 2005 and 2008, a patch is needed in order to overcome those limitations.
