Why does Microsoft tie .NET runtime versions to specific versions of VIsual Studio?

Why is it that I have to upgrade to VS 2010 to build/run .NET4 projects? This seems somewhat ridiculous to me. Why should the run-time that my code runs against, or the compiler that the IDE invokes (hopefully) generically through MSBUILD rules have anything to do with the IDE I am using?
