Upgrading to VS 2008 Professional from Web Developer Edition
I currently have VS 2008 Web Developer SP1 installed on my computer and I have purchased the professional edition. I also have 2003 and 2005 Pro installed.
Should I uninstall VS 2008 Web Developer before installing the professional edition? If not, will I have two versions of VS 2008 or will I have a Professional "Upgrade" Web Developer.
Please note: I have not purchased an upgrade license, I have a full professional license.

Web Developer is a separate product for VS2008 and the installation should not modify it.
As an aside - with multipurpose in VS2008, can you save some space by removing VS2005? VS2008 can't target 1.1 though (except maybe via MSBEE), so maybe keep VS2003 if you still support 1.1 code. Obviously if you do this: first make sure VS2008 supports whatever legacy requirements you need ... (i.e. don't blame me if you can't edit your project!)
I would probably remove the web developer first, but could you find it handy for small test projects? I support C # Express for the same reason (I find it faster for small scratch tests).
