Hi. I have a client running a standard SQL Server 2005 server installation. I have been asked to install 2008 Management Studio ONLY as a side-by-side installation onto the same box. At first I was a little nervouls about possible .Net version issues but now I am not too sure. Anyone done this before? Did you have any problems?

You can have both running on the same box. The installer will find 2005 and ask if you want to replace it or create 2008 as a named instance. If you just create 2008 as a named instance you should be fine. Try this out on a dev box before doing it on a prod box of course. 😀
