Hi, AFAIK you can install all VS versions next to each other; I have two regularly, never wanted more. There are two potential problems: 1. the one installed last will steal the file association, so double-clicking say a .cs file will open that VS version. 2. newer versions tend to convert project files to newer formats that older versions do not understand, so you will have to keep the projects well apart. :)

2005 and 2008 run fine together so I'd assume that if 2003 works along side 2005 then adding 2008 should be fine.

I have all three on my system. As I installed them when they were released (approximately), they were installed oldest-first, which is what I recommend you to do.
