I would love to try f# 3.0 but I only have visual studio 2010 professional. I know F# 3.0 comes installed with visual studio 2012 out of the box, but I'm not in a position where I can upgrade to vs2012 yet.
A recent msdn post by Don Syme hints that it can be used with visual studio 2010, but there doesn't seem to be any resources or explanations at how this is possible.
Quoting the article:
...to use F# 3.0 in Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010, including with the free tools, go to fsharp.net
But of course fsharp.net just goes to an msdn page that pushes visual studio 2012.
I'm also apparently not the only one who's been asking about this if you look at the comments in the post.
Has anyone had any luck with this or do I need to use visual studio 2012 to use f# 3.0?

Experience the ferocious roar of a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine amplified by stacked quad exhaust tips. The IS 500 F SPORT Performance boasts a full 472 horsepower* at 7,100 rpm and 395 lb-ft of peak torque* at 4,800 rpm. And a blistering 0-to-60 time of just 4.4 seconds* . The result?
2022 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance Priced at $56,500 - Kelley Blue Book.
Lexus has moved away from V8 engines in most of its other vehicles, including the LX, and the LC is unlikely to get a high-performance F variant. That said, the IS 500 gets us 80% of the way to a full-fat F car, so it's not like Lexus has a long way to go. The IS F is apparently due to arrive in Japan in October 2022.
The Lexus IS F is great fun on open roads. The big V8 delivers lots of power and is accompanied by a glorious exhaust note, and while the IS F isn't as composed as a BMW M3 in corners, that only adds to its appeal. Another highlight is the eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Well, I went straight to the source and tweeted at Don Syme my question. You cannot use f# 3.0 with visual studio 2010.

F# 3.0 is part of Visual Studio 2012 for now, including VS Express. A standalone version is in the works (Is there a way to install F# 3.0 without Visual Studio?)
