Uninstalling Visual Studio 2005 Betas

Great news...Microsoft has created some tools for the job. I was IMing with Rick Strahl tonight and he told me about Andrew Stebner's web log which contains links to some VS 2005 uninstall tools:

Hopefully this will help you have a smooth transition to the new release!
