Can I run VS 2008 and VS 2010 on the same computer?

I want to install VS 2010 RC but do not want to get rid of VS 2008 until the 2010 final release.

Yes. Even with VS2005 and VS2008 and VS2010

As others have said, the short answer is definitely yes. In general, though, there are some issues with some of the out-of-band installed components that aren't fully side by side compatible. I'm thinking specifically of the Silverlight 4 Beta, which I believe conflicts with the Silverlight 3 tools if they are already on your machine. Also, if you are doing any ASP.NET MVC 2 development, this is something to be aware of.

Have a look at Will installing Visual Studio 2010 Beta side by side with VS2008 cause problems?
