Is the remote debugger from VS2010 compatible with VS2008? That is, can connect from visual studio 2008 to a machine running the remote debugger installed by VS 2010

That's a 90% no, the debugger in VS2010 was changed pretty dramatically. I got slapped any time I tried to mix and match, although I never tried it with the remote debugger.
That half hour you waited for this answer should have been enough to explore the 10% chance? Let us know what you found out, that's sorta the point of this web site.

It tried it, no go with VS2010 remote debugger and it worked instantly with the VS2008 remote debugger... Hopefully, it works the other way around. I will post when I find out.
