Have questions

I am getting back into developing and need some opinions.

Should I use VS 2003 or 2005 for IDE? I have both.

I understand I can install both on same machine. True or False

I have a current Dot net 1.1 environment. Can I deploy VS 2005 applications
to it if I use the VS 2005 Beta IDE? I have a hosting service that is
providing me a Dot net environment.

Depends on if you're comfortable with using beta software or not, and
which framework version you're targeting.

True

Not easily, no.
