No problems, but if you search on the forums, you will find about fifty threads that say the same thing.
You only need to take care of the associations. For some reason, after I installed VS.NET on this machine, my VS6 projects would start up with VS.NET.
Hi,
"For some reason, after I installed VS.NET on this machine, my VS6 projects would start up with VS.NET."
Hasn't happened to me.
Hasn't happened to me either, go for it mate, it works perfectly fine. Microsoft designed it so you could run both side-by-side. You can also run Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 side-by-side as well.
You people are unknown to Murphy's Laws.
I have been running both from .NET beta days - currently 2003 - no problems.
If you are still worried and have the option to run it on separate machines do so. I don't think it should be necessary.

Murphy's laws apply mainly to those who throw their banana skins in front of them. :wave:
