Assuming you are asking about upgrade vs.

Assuming you are asking about upgrade vs. full product pricing, you should
contact your local Microsoft sales office for specifics. In general, Visual
Studio upgrade vs. full pricing ahs been available for any previous version
of VS (except Academic editions), but you should ask a sales rep to be sure.
From an installation perspective, each VS version installs as a separate
product, so you have no issues there.

You can do that.

If you update an existing project, you will find that some things are
slightly different (e.g. System.Web.Mail was changed and moved to
System.Net.Mail) and you may need to update references (as seen in Solution
Explorer) to the newer versions of the dlls.

Not sure what you think might happen, but 2008 does not replace 2003,

Not sure what you think might happen, but 2008 does not replace 2003, it
installs side by side. Have both!
