It might be even better to port it to the freely available downloadable Visual Studio Shell: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vsx2008/products/bb933751.aspx The F# plugin works for that environment, giving a very good free IDE.

Because my university is in the MSNDAA-program I could download the new Visual Studio 2008 Professional, what I've done today. Now I tried to install the vshaskell-extension to start learning Haskell but the installer only quits with the message that (of course) VS2005 is not installed. Now is my question if I have to download the "old" VS2005 or if it is somehow possible to get this extension running with VS9.0?
I already tried to use the EclipseFP-plugin so I already have (win)hugs, ghc and haddoc installed (if it helps for the problem above).
The problem with this plugin was that Ctrl+Space does apparently not work for code hints and because I'm just started to learn the language, I don't know every keyword... So I have to look it up everytime somewhere, I want to implement something new. The fact that Prelude.hs and others are plain text are a great help, but what I have seen in the screenshot at http://www.haskell.org/visualhaskell/screenshots.html would be much better...
