Is it possible? I have Sql Server 2000 running now & I've been working on learning that. I would like to get 2005 installed (attended a Microsoft Tech seminar and received a copy of VSTS 2005 including SQL Server 2005.)
I want to fire that up to see what it's all about but I don't want to mess up my 2000 edition.
So can these 2 behemouths coincide in good sprits with each other on the same machine & still function correctly?
Thanks!

I am shortly about to try the same thing... But from what I have read, there is no problem (same as you can have SS7 and SS2k on the one machine) as each has a separate instance name so their binaries are in separate folders, running separate services, etc...

I had all three versions running on my dev machine; SQL 7 as the default instance, and then named instances of 2000 and 2005;
i was running a december version of 2005, and never had any problems with any of the instances.
I did have some wierd things go on with my VS 2003 and vs2005;
some previous code written in 2003 did not work the same anymore; i couldn't get some ode to work the way it did previously, and ended up uninstalling 2005, then reinstalling VS2003 and SP4 on SQL2000; at the very end i lost the color coding syntax in QA afet3er all the unistall/reinstall, and had to register one dll manually to restore that.
