Can you install VS2013 alongside VS2012 without issues?

Question

I cam across this question here on SE:

Can Visual Studio 2012 be installed side-by-side w/ Visual Studio 2010?

According to one comment with a good amount of upvotes, having 2010 and 2012 installed at the same time can present issues. I then came across this MSDN page about 2013:

If you use Visual Studio 2013 together with Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2010 SP1, you can [blah blah]

That suggests that 2013 can be safely installed along with VS2012. Can anyone confirm?

Answer 1

Take a look at Brian Harry´s Blog post announcing Visual Studio 2013.

VS 2013 can be installed side by side with previous versions of Visual Studio or, if you have a VS 2013 pre-release, it can be installed straight over top of the pre-release. TFS 2013 cannot be installed side by side but can also be installed over top of either a previous version (TFS 2012 or TFS 2010) or a pre-release.

Answer 2

Looks like you can, yes.

You can install this version of Visual Studio on a computer that already has an earlier version installed.

Only issue I can see is during uninstallation, where the file associations may get lost.
