running office 03 and 07 side by side

[frankcb]

i have been reading over all the posts reguarding dual installs of office and
have seen it mentioned a number of times but haven't found out why, "Outlook
". this app is pretty important to me and would like to try it out but, like
everyone else, i do not wish to loose my present config. could someone
explain the problem with running both versions (03 & 07) of outlook.

I'm sorry, but I wanted to know why only 1 version of outlook can be
installed when all other apps can be run with dual installations. I am aware
that only one instance of outlook can be run. Presently I have a machine that
is multi booting, 2 XP pro and 1 Vista, first XP running office 03 second XP
running office 07, and Vista running office 07. This is fine for someone with
a lot of time to spend with the machine but I have very little time lately
and wish to preserve my 03 settings and do not wish to lose any data, hence
my desire to run both versions of office on 1 OS
