If you still have the old R7 Release Note, there is a section on how to mantain two clients on the same computer, something like this
Maybe they work for R8 too.
1. Shut down the Notes client and all Notes-related tools, utilities and add-ins running on your computer.
2. Rename the Notes 6.x directory. Notes 6.x is typically installed to \Program Files\Lotus\Notes on Windows. For example, you could rename the directory "Notes6."
3. Rename the entire Notes registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lotus\Notes. For example, you can rename it HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Lotus\Notes6
4. Rename the entire Installer registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer. For example, you can rename it HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Lotus\Notes\Installer6
5. Run the Notes 7.x install program (SETUP.EXE). Select new locations for the program and data directories. For example, you can select \Program Files\Lotus\Notes7 and \Program Files\Lotus\Notes7\Data
6. During the install you may see an error message ""Error 1905.Module c:\program files\lotus\notes\nlsxbe.dll failed to unregister. HRESULT". Click OK and installation will proceeed.
7. When the install program has finished, rename the 6.x directory back to the original directory name, for example, \Program Files\Lotus\Notes)
