Hi,

I want to have a live and test development environment on the same computer.
For example, I want to run a Whidbey suite (Whidbey, 3rd party alpha-level
controls, etc.) and production VS 2003 and have them not interfere with each
other One option is to partition the disk and install two separate copies
of XP, Office, etc, and then the development environments. I would have to
reboot systems to change. Are there other options?

Thanks,

Jerry
 
For our *released* products, you should be able to safely have them both
installed on the same computer.

For alpha/beta products, sometimes some of the work to enable this has not
been completed (or fully tested), so it's possible there may be problems.
That's why our beta instructions generally refer to a second machine.

Eric,

I agree and appreciate the warning. If I used the betas enough this is what
I would have a dedicated machine. But for occasional testing and such, it
is not practical to dedicate a machine to the beta.
