I need to run Outlook '07 & '03 on the same machine for training.

[Josh Mac]

We train students and local businesses on Microsoft Office Products and I
need to be able to run both '07 & '03 verions of Outlook. I have read a
little about possibly using Virtual Machines, but I am clueless. Please
advise on what I should do. Thanks.

Hi Josh,

you can not use different versions of Outlook on the same computer.

With VMware or other Virtual machine software you can use different Outlook
versions on the same computer but this "Computer" is a virtuall computer:

Information about Virtual machine

A product which supports "Virtual machine"

If you have a Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 (not an SBS Version) a "Terminal
Server" could be also a solution for trainings:

With a "TS" you can install different Windows Versions and Office Version on
ONE "Server machine" and your clients (Thin Clients) are only connected to
this "server".

The installed Windows version on this "Thin Client" is not important because
you only work with all users on the "Terminal Server".

Maybe it helps.
