SUMMARY
=======

If you have two installations of one of the programs listed at the top of this
article installed on your hard drive, you can run them both at the same time.
This behavior is consistent with how other Macintosh applications operate.

This is different than how Windows handles multiple instances of these
applications. Windows closes the second copy if it detects another version is
already running.
