A well written program should look for the existence of previous versions. Then offer whatever choices the programmers think suitable. Run both, delete old, migrate settings etc would be a few choices that I can think of.

A good program user should know to uninstall an old version once the new one is installed. Having two versions is pointless and insecure.

Why should being a good program user be a prerequisite for using a web browser? This (version2) is supposedly a stable and user ready program. If it's not there should be ample warnings to that effect.
Good program users are prerequisites for the beta and not ready for prime time programs.

I cannot say that I fully agree with this.
At least in Linux, I was able to run both SeaMonkey 1.1.18 and beta releases of 2.0 simultaneously, to see what one version does over the other. To remove one version or the other, it was as simple as deleting the sub-directory I created inside my /home directory that I installed it to, because I did not install them system-wide.
As Windows is a different animal, one could have issues with two versions of of the same software both installed.
