What works
The compiler just seems to work. I've tested compilation of some C and C++ files and they work fine. They only thing needed was copying the Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio\ 8/VC/ subdirs: bin, include and lib.
And Executing it through a little script made it easier:
#!/bin/sh wine "c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/bin/cl.exe" /I"c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/include" $@ /link /LIBPATH:"c:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/lib"�
What does not
I tried to get it working from the mounted Windows partition but this failed as it couldn't find various files.
Workarounds
What was not tested
I haven't tried installing Visual Studio through the actual installer as I had seen bad reports about this and furthermore, because it occupies way to much space. And finally, because I only want to use it on the commandline (and maybe integrated in buildscripts).

Additional Comments
As the C++ compiler and linker seem to be working perfectly without actual modifications, I frankly would prefered to have given it a higher rating. But, as I haven't tried the installer and I haven't tried all the tools yet, I have tried to temper my enthousiasm a bit :) Still, I hadn't expected this to work, reading the other's reports.

Run the supplied batch file to extract all cabinets to temp PSDK install folder:
$ wine start.exe PSDK-FULL.bat "C:\psdktemp"
Execute the installer from "C:\psdktemp" folder
$ wine ./setup.exe
This is bug 14168. The installer takes a considerable when the Installing components action is processed on install page. Depending on machine speed it takes 5-10 minutes until it really begins to copy files.
Wine's msi component executes large table joins which causes this performance hit (CPU usage 100% for long time). Just be patient.
