Keeping both Office 2003 and 2010

[A.P.]

Hi Guys,

I have a question. Is it physically possible to use both Office 2003 and
2010 on one computer. I would like to try the new version of the software
without removing the old one.

Thanks

Hi AP,

Theoretically yes, but I don't recommend trying it with the 2010 beta.

Office 2010 is a Beta. I strongly recommend for you not to do that

In case Bob, macropod and Peter's comments didn't convince you, "ditto".
Don't use beta software on a production system unless you are willing to
reformat and re-install everything.

I'd also recommend posting 2010 beta questions to the beta forum:

Virtual machines are another approach to dual booting.
