IMHO, it is important that people are able to compile python with VS2010 with minimum fuss.  Not everyone has access to older compilers and forward compatibility shouldn't be that hard.  
There are to problems currently, as far as I can tell:
1) errnomodule.c needs to be changed to make sure WSAERROR and ERROR are the same.  A patch to this effect exists already.
2) the .vcproj files don't upgrade correctly.  The new ones have an extra "TargetName" property, optionally settable but defaults to ProjectName.  This causes linker errors because of python's peculiar _d extension for debug.  There is no easy fix for this so a solution would be, unfortunately, to maintain a separate PCBuild10 directory.

What is there keeping this from moving forwards?
