It should work fine, I have both installed on my current machine.

But just as an fyi, 2008 wasn't designed for Windows Vista/7, so it might throw up a warning or two when installing.

I've installed 2008 on both with no hassles.

They should work together fine. Just be sure to install them in order from oldest to newest. See this MSDN article for details.

A: 

Aye, it's possible. They install to different directories, and operate on different files, so no problem should be caused by having them both installed. (I have Visual Basic 05 and 08 on the same machine)
