Can I install VS2005beta2 onto the same machine that I use VS2003
without causing conflicts??

Please do not adjust your brain, there is a fault with reality

Email - Domain is valid - user is not - I'm sure you can work it out though!

However, there is an agressive spam trap here, so you'll get blacklisted until I

There can be some issues (there is one with VS 2005 messing with VS.NET
2002/2003 GUIDs for some type libraries) so I would recomend some of these
options:

- Use Virtual PC 2004 to install a hosted OS
- Use a separate partition with dual boot
- Make an image of your partition (Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost, etc.)
prior to installing the beta, just in case you need to rollback. The
uninstallation of the beta has some crashes, so this option is the minimal
thing to keep your machine clean.
- Wait a few days/weeks for the VS 2005 Release Candidate 1.

Thanks! I guess that one clinches it really!
