I run 3-4 versions side-by-side, without virtual hosts.  The only 
"side effect" is that they all share the same session/cookies.  So if
I'm logged into one on a browser, then I'm logged into all of them in
that browser ;)

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
