MSSQL 2000 + MSSQL 2005 on the same machine ?

Is it possible to install MSSQL 2000 and MSSQL 2005 on the same machine
? Or is NOT recommended to do so ? Thanks !
JulichHi,
If it is production; I will not recommend both in the same machine.
Personally, I mainly run SQL 2005 on a virtual machine.
Thanks

however I also was running Reporting Services. When I installed SQL 2005
reporting services it broke my sql 2k RS..
I'm with Hari -not on a production machine definitely - and risky on a dev
machine...

on production.
One thing I lost with it in my dev environment was Query Analyzer no longer
gives color coding, so I have to use SQL Server Management Studio for
everything if I want color coding.
