>>Hi everybody,
>>
>>In the Programs & Features I have lots of MS Visual Studio different versions installed programs. I recently installed VS 2013 and I want to uninstall all prior versions of VS. However, there are so many entries in the Program and Features that I am wondering what should I chose to uninstall correct versions.

>>Thanks in advance.

Yesterday I had a real scare of life for me :( After I wrote that UT message (or may be even before) I went ahead and picked one of the VS 2008 (I think it was IDE tools or something like this) and uninstalled it. I then tried uninstalling VS 2010 and it showed a wizard checking the stuff, but it never did anything and my laptop slowed down considerably. So, I decided to re-start at that point. And then the laptop was not loading Windows!!!!!!! :(((

I went through few iterations and was going through restore points until finally (after I went away for a few hours for working out) it was back up.

So, may be for now I scratch that idea of uninstalling stuff for some time.
