SharePoint Designer 2010/2007
We are all ready for the the release of the Microsoft Office 2010 products. Many have already used the beta releases and found the points that we didn’t like or really did like. Myself personally I am on a tightrope with this keeping my balance, but this article isn’t about that. In the SharePoint world, designers use the SharePoint Designer product to enhance, develop, and manipulate SharePoint. The new SharePoint Designer 2010 does exactly that. One difference…it is not backward compatible so you cannot connect to previous versions with it.
Microsoft has made this have the ability to work side-by-side though with SharePoint Designer 2007, well with some prerequisites.
- Must use 32-bit (x86) versions. Recommeneded to use 32-bit on all Office products doing this BTW.
- Must install SPD 2007 first, reboot (to be safe) before installing SPD 2010.

According to Microsoft this will work. Good Luck!
