[AccessD] Access 2007 / 2003 install shuffle

Would it be even faster in an VM?

One of my clients uses 2007 (the database from hell guy) and wants me to
send stuff to him in 2007 Excel.  So I installed Office 2007 on that machine
in its own directory.  Office 2003 was already installed.  I allowed 2007 to
uninstall 2003 Outlook (I don't use outlook anymore anyway).


So then I do the install shuffle.  It was reasonably fast!  As in 30 seconds
to open 2007 after 2003.  Six seconds to open 2003 after 2007.

3.0 GHZ Quad core AMD, 16 gig ram, Windows 2003 x64.

I was expecting a couple of minutes.
