Actually, the kind of questions that pops up on this very list every day should be enough proof that the number of people who actually "understand the fundamentals of computers", vs "wasting whole days to chat and download music" and calling themselves a geek for it, is so small that it is indeed necessary to mention it. Also consider that what most of the users we are talking about actually mean by "installing at the same time on the same PC" is not what you say. It is more like "can you confirm that doing so will never create any problem or configuration change whatsoever: file associations will work magically, all files will be saved in a format usable with either suite without me doing anything, I'll never see any scary message that "saving in MS Office format creates problems, do you really want to do it?" etc", as it happens regularly on this list.
