The above is not the case. it was always "recommend" to install in 
increasing version order, but NOT a requirement.

Access 97, 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010 can all reside quite happy on the SAME 
computer, say a brand new win 7 x64 box.

I am not quite sure "WHEN" the recommend of installing in order changed from 
being a "good" idea to that of something that does not work.

In fact even in older days on machines that had access 97, when we upgraded 
them to access 2003, trying to "un-install" Access 97 proved to be such a 
HUGE mess and issues, that we simply adopted the practice of NOT removing 
the previous version - just leave it alone - don't even touch it at all!  - 
hard drives are cheap and messing around for 30 minutes will cost more in 
support time for a machine that likely to be tossed out in a few years.

So I don't even recommend trying to mess, touch, waste time on worrying 
about "previous" editions on that computer. Install the latest version you 
need and that's it. Don't even try to un-install previous - as many things 
can mess up during a un-install as an install!

And for developers? Yes, we recommend (if not live and die) by using some 
kind of virtual computing. However virtual computing is not a "general" 
solution for the deployment side of things
