Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview running alongside with Visual Studio 2010 SP1?

I would开发者_JS百科 like to try out the new features in VS 11 Developer Preview on the machine that i do programming on with VS 2010 SP1. Is there a way I can install VS 11 Developer Preview without it affecting my current VS2010 SP1 instance?

You can install them side-by-side. MSDN provides the caveats. This has been true since the first version of VS.NET, and per the article linked to below, it still applies with the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview.

I used Virtual Box. It provides a clean environment that can't interfere with your production system, without requiring a separate computer.
