Is it possible to support both SharePoint Web Services 2010 and 2007 from the same web services client? or will they need different clients.

How different are the web services from previous versions of SharePoint Web Services. I can't seem to find any examples of supporting multiple versions of SharePoint Web Services when implementing a client.

As far as I know all the SP 2007 Web services work the same in SP 2010.

What's new in SP 2010 is the RESTful service (listdata.svc) which is, according to Microsoft, the preferred way to access list data (rather than Lists.asmx).

Take a look at the namespaces of the service contracts (in the WSDL). If they are the same then the services should be compatible.
