Shouldn't that be 1 and 2? ;-)
Yes, you have to fllow ALL of the specific instructions for uninstalling
previous versions of Visual Studio.Net 2005, if you know what's good for
you. Just read and follow the readme.htm on the CD.
Apps developed with previous versions will open, yes. As to whether they
will run, it depends on which previous version they were developed with. At
any rate, it should not be hard to find and change any inconsistencies.

Yes, you can run both versions on the same machine. I've been doing so for
nearly a year now. But if you try to open .Net Framework 1.1 projects in
VS.Net 2005, it will want to upgrade them. So, you have 2 choices: Upgrade,
or continue to use VS.Net 2003 alongside of VS.Net 2005.
BTW, you can certainly USE .Net Framework 1.1 assemblies in a .Net Framework
2.0 application.

The redistributable framework is included in the VS.Net 2005 CD, and
available for download from Microsoft.

This information should also be in the installation. You can also go to:
