Answer 1

It looks like Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 will resolve this once it is released (see the heading 'Better platform support | Unit Testing on .NET 3.5')

You can get the Beta version with a Go-Live licence now...

Answer 2

You haven't suggested changing to a different test framework. Personally, I use NUnit and have for years. It's far more sophisticated that the stuff in 2008. I haven't had time to see what's changed in 2010 but I can't see MS catching up that quickly.
