But I also carry a laptop when I go on-site to a customer (and sometimes update an existing app and recompile from the laptop) and I would like to put VS.NET on the laptop if it won't interfere. I remember problems with prior betas and ActiveX controls expiring out or something like that.


Yes it can, but VS.NET screws with the OS pretty good and a lot of things don't work on any machine it's installed on. Including the Office apps.

Not recommended. If you're going to play around with VS.Net (if you got it from the PDC) then I would highly recommend you put it on a test machine.
