Interesting, John.  I didn't try it with Excel, since I replaced all the
Office apps except Access with the 2007 version, and believe me, that
one runs the installer.

Subject: [AccessD] An Excel 2007 Observation

I installed Office 2007 on a server where I already had Office 2003
installed.  I use Office 2003 (specifically Excel) on that machine quite
a bit.  this morning I just double clicked on a spreadsheet and it was
loaded in Excel 2007 (Office 2007 apparently replaced my file type
mappings).  I checked the task manager memory usage and it was 20.6 mb
for Excel with that specific spreadsheet.  I then closed Excel 2007,
opened Excel 2003 and then loaded the same spreadsheet.  The memory
usage was 10.5 mb.  

And BTW, there was no noticeable delay switching between the two
versions, nor did it request a disk etc.  I will do more testing on that
subject later when the server isn't working heavily on SQL Server stuff.
