Does Visual Studio 2010 support .NET 4.5 CTP?

... or do I absolutely need Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview?

I'm mostly concerned with ReSharper support; 6.1 EAP isn't available yet.

I'm going to be making a WPF 4.5 greenfield application (as I need some of the new features) and I'm wondering what's going to provide the least resistance for upgrading down the line.

You are already using it if you deployed either .NET 4.5 or VS 11 on your machine. .NET 4.5 is not a side-by-side version, it replaces 4.0. I haven't heard anybody complaining about it, except for people using PostSharp which doesn't handle type forwarding well.

I you haven't yet done so then do not take this as advice to install it. Few programmers can afford CTP releases on a production machine. Use a VM or a non-critical machine.
