Once you save a file in the newer version of Maya though it will no longer open in the older versions unless you either save it as a .ma file and edit the version number in a text editor like notepad or save it as an OBJ although OBJ is not always entirely successful.
Another thing to watch out for if you want to go back to the older version after is that if you use any new features that are in 2008 and not in version 8.0 it might cause problems with the file opening.

We are still doing this at work while our custom plugins and shaders are being re written for the 2008 version of Maya.
