I just received my SW2008 and started to load it then thought I'd better
ask.
Can I load SW2008 and still keep my SW2007 up and running on the same
machine without any problems? I'd like to load SW2008 and play around with
it some, but I can't afford to be down or mess up my SW2007 right now for
customer compatibility reasons.
Thanks,

Along these lines, I recently thinstalled SW2007, completly USB
portable and only about 300mb, all help and addin's ripped. With
everything, it's a lot bigger. Just playing around with this, it could
be useful to have a few SW versions; all are independant and can be
run simultaneously with no problems, independent virtually registries
and file structures created at runtime (files save to real hard drive
or USB). Its a neat program www.thinstall.com, on the website they
show demos of the MS Office suite thinstalled, running of off USB,
licensing, services, everything needed is run with the program, don't
know how it works, I tested it with SW2007 and SW works fine on a
clean machine, just by running the 300mb exe file, it only takes a few
seconds more to start up, but runs just fine.
One other suggestion is to use a virtual machine, Microsoft Virtual PC
2007 is FREE from microsoft, download it, about 30mb, create a virtual
PC, install xp, on it, it uses all your hardware, same everything, put
in 2008 and install it, test it out, you can switch back and forth
between virtual PC and real PC with no problem and discard change to
the Virtual PC if you don't like changes you have made since the last
bootup. Use it to test anything you are unsure off. You can drag and
drop files between PC's and share the Virtual Harddrive on a network.
