If I install the 2005 beta on a PC that already has .NET 2003 on it
will I be able to use both?

There are some things I want to try in the beta but I don't want to
make the move permanent until final release.
 
Hi Jeff,

VS.NET 2005(Whidbey) beta could be installed side by side with VS.NET 2003,
however since it is a beta version Whidbey yet, so there still has some
minor or unknown issues with it...

The recommended way is to install that VS.NET 2005(Whidbey) beta in a
Vritual PC which will prevent from the risk of destroying or otherwise
compromising your development environment.

Many thanks Gary.

I'll try VPC, hopefully then all my bugs will be virtual :-)
