I have both installed as well. Some reasons:
Transferring files back and forth between versions can cause problems
with Master Pages, Notes pages, and other areas. Some of our clients
still use 2003, and I find it best to work in the final target
version.
Our clients need to make notations on PDFs made in Notes view. Making
PDFs from Notes Page in version 2007 converts the slide to a single
graphic; if the PDF is made in 2003, text can be selected on the slide
to make a notation. (Microsoft - please bring this back!!!)
If you need to create macros to automate a workflow, but don't know
VBA (or don't know the object model well enough to know how to target
a specific object), you need version 2003 to record macros.
