There shouldn't be any issues as long as you remember to install the SP's
and updates for VS 2008 and the .NET Framework after the main installation
has completed.

I have installed VS 2008 Team System on Windows 7 Ultimate (X64) and I
didn't experience any problems yet. However, don't forget to install
the service pack and available updates.

same scenario here however i did notice problems with TFS , to debug
websites in IIS you must run VS in elevated priviliges however TFS source
control seems to get a life on its own as it did not track my source
changes and on a check in from source control without elevated priviliges i
lost almost a week work :-( , it deleted my local source files ( huh ?? )

By the way anyone an idea how i can debug a Web project in my local IIS with
Windows 7 without running VS as admin ( as this seemed to have caused the
problem )

I had the same problem again yesterday, so we contacted MS regarding this
mather

Problem is that the issue is not reproducable , it just occurs while you
are working :-(
i guess the problem lies in the fact that i need my local IIS for debugging
purposes in Windows 7 this triggers a serie of security exceptions
and you must run in eleveated modus ( in Vista this same scenario just
works ) elevated modus is probably disturbing TFS as it sees this as a
different user ( ? )

aaarghhhh :-|

Tip : just use your VS builtin webserver and there is no issue , however
this is not an option for me as this site only runs in IIS
