Has anyone installed MSSQL 2K8 on the same machine as 2K5? I haven't found anything telling me that you can't but I was wondering if there were any issues?
Thanks!

The word "beta" in the title is extremely important.. don't install beta software on to a machine that you need to keep working, especially if you have another version/edition of the same software (like you have in this case).
There have been several times that using (or even un-installing) beta versions broke already installed versions.. one notable case was (I think) a recent version Visual Studio.
True, but I don't ahve a spare machine to install it on. I was hoping someone had this configuration already installed. Oh well, I guess I can wait until it is released to install it.
Thanks, Si!
An alternative would be to create a virtual machine, perhaps using Virtual PC from MS (which is free), which would allow you to make a test machine inside your existing installation of Windows.
That is a better idea! Thanks Si
