I have a product (SQL 2000 Reporting Services) that I can't install on a
machine with IIS7. Installation simply does not go after system check. Is it
possible to have IIS6 with IIS7 side by side? Or downgrade IIS7 to 6? Is
there a way to trick installation to accept IIS7?
Thanks for any help.

No, no, and no.
The only legitimate thing you can try is to make sure Metabase
compatibility is installed (it is not by default). If you do not
install that compatibility component of IIS7, there is 0% chance that
SQL 2000 Reporting Services will install successfully.
You are trying to install 7+ year old software which may not support
the new OS, so I would not hold great expectations. The software may
choose to refuse to install on newer OS, and if it does not state
Vista as supported platform, you will be responsible for reverse-
engineering how to do it.

Right, now I have to have two development boxes because I can't install one
of development products onto new PC. Nice.

Why don't you just install Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 and
develop against SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services.
If it doesn't work with Metabase Compatibility installed on IIS7, I
doubt it'd work for any development purposes. If you want the
combination to work, you'll have to figure it out because those
products simply do not have appreciable overlap in product support
lifecycles - i.e. no one really cares about the combination.
