VBScript Syntax Highlighting in VS2008

Unbelievable! Microsoft has "depreciated" VBScript syntax highlighting in Visual Studio 2008.

Their solution is to use Visual Studio 2005! How lame, why not just tell us to use InterDev?

I'm a Microsoft kinda guy but lately it seems that Microsoft is putting a lot of distance between some of their business decisions and common sense.

I left a post on DevExpress.com forum hoping to use CodeRush to restore this functionality but I wish Microsoft would just turn it back on.

If you know a work around please leave a comments here.

SP1 fixes this finally!
