Visual Studio 2008 cannot connect to SQL 2008

When trying to connect to SQL server 2008 from visual studio 2008 you will get the following error:
"This server version is not supported. Only servers up to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 are supported".

Solution:
just download and install Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 and it will work fine.
Visual Studio SP1 can be downloaded from Microsoft website, it is about 800 MB in iso format.

Here is the Download page for Visual Studio 2008 SP1
