Like someone mentioned, the one downside to this is that MS's beta uninstalls have typically fallen short (ie. they suck). The uninstall appears to work but you end up with weird problems installing the released version. I think this has happened to me with every VS beta I've installed. Thankfully, I can usually find a post about how to correct the problem.
