Yah, that's called "side-by-side execution". It's a selling point, 
because you don't wind up with having to support old stuff in new 
runtimes, and you can leave the old bugs buggy, avoiding "DLL Hell".

They do.

Wow, I run Java and C# next to each other, and they both take up memory! :-)

One really has two choices: Run different versions of the runtime and 
use up those resources, or have DLL hell where upgrading the runtime 
breaks working programs. The "upgrade the runtime and maintain 100% 
backward compatibility" eventually turns into a nightmare.
