The short answer is yet but you will still have to deploy .Net3.0 to your
userbase (unless they are running Vista)

However I think there is some confusion here between the .Net2.0 vs .Net3.0
and vs2005 vs vs2008(Orcas)

..Net2.0 = A framework required for any work done in vs2005(.Net stuff anyway)

..Net3.0 = An additional set of libraries to provide additional functionality.
(WPF etc)
..Net3.0 = Includes .Net2.0
..Net3.0 = Is required by end users for any code written that targets those
libraries.

vs2005 = A version of VS which can write code that targets .Net2.0
vs2005 = A version of VS which can write code that targets .Net3.0

..Net3.5 = Is yet more libraries which provide yet more functionality
..Net3.5 = Will still be required by any user wishing to
..Net3.5 = Is not released except in Beta1 with Orcas Beta1

vs2008 = A version of VS which can write code that targets .Net2.0
vs2008 = A version of VS which can write code that targets .Net3.0
vs2008 = A version of VS which can write code that targets .Net3.5
vs2008 = *Has many new IDE features which can make your life as a programmer
easier*
vs2008 = *Has some new IDE features which, although new, can still target
..Net2.0, .Net3.0, .Net3.5*
vs2008 = Is not released except at Beta1 status.
vs2008 = *Is probably the thing you are really asking/hearing about*

I hope some of this helps

If you had read my previous answer you would know **Vs2008 is in *BETA* now**.

It supports .Net 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 and is codenamed Orcas.

This is the only Microsoft .Net IDE which gives you new coding features you
can apply to old frameworks without additional framework distribution.

(This is a hard enough conversation without anyone picking on my last statement
because of 1.1 vs 1.0)
