I have VS 2003 and 2005 running on the same machine just fine. I did have to
go through 2005 and set the settings to what I had in 2003, so I think you
should be OK. I just would be careful about opening any of your current
projects in 2005 as it forces you to update the solution and project files.

Also remember 2005 is still beta, if you have another machine you can
install it on I would suggest doing that. I have both running and thus far
have had no issues, but they are also installed on my home machine where if
i have to re-install it's not a big deal.
