Default Installing both 2003 and 2007 on Vista 64bit

I am going to purchase a new system with Vista 64bit. I would like to run
BOTH Office 2003 Pro (which I already own) and Office 2007 on this system
(since I develop in 2003, but need to make sure it runs in 2007).

Is this possible? Is there anything special I would need to do?

Thanks,

You first ensure any trial version is uninstalled, and possibly also any
'free' junk the supplier has installed.
Ensure Vista is updated
Install 2003 & update it
Possibly rename any Office shortcuts, ie Word Word03
Install 2007
Both versions install to version specific folders by default.
You can only have a single version of Outlook, I'd reccomend OL2007 over
OL2003 version.

It's possible and easy.

Install office 2003 first obviously, update it and what not.

Then when you install Office 2007 just choose custom and Keep all previous
versions and you're set. (I wouldn't recommend keeping Outlook 2003 though).
