Not that it matters at my hexadicimal age of 56.

No! You WILL get the reinstall components lag time if both are on the
same system because say you open 2003...it needs to reset the registry
so that IT is the head honcho version. Then if you open 2007...it
wants to be in charge so it'll reset all the registry settings to its
own version. If you don't switch often, it's not all that big of a
deal (although 2007 can take its sweet time doing the update!). But if
you switch as often as I do...it'll make you crazy!

Hope that helps (and what you meant???)

Thank you Dian for your advice; luckily both my versions are not OEM nor
upgrades. I take it that there is no lag between Office 2007 and 2003 if I
run them separately, both installed on the same computer though.

I am using Vista Home Premium and Office 2007 academic version.
Is it possible to install Office 2003 on my computer as well, running
independently from 2007?
