Visual Studio 2008 upgrade to 2010 (in-place, solutions, etc)?

I have Visual Studio 2008 installed on a Windows 2008 Enterprise Server. I am thinking of upgrading to Visual Studio 2010 and wanted to know if this would be an in-place upgrade, or do I have to completely uninstalled Visual Studio 2008 then install 2010? What about all my solutions, do I have to upgrade them to 2010 as well?

To add to EKS there are some instances where you have to have side by side installation. Unmanaged C++/CLI code projects upgraded to VS2010 are forced to use .NET 4.0. So if you require to C+/CLI with .NET 3.5 or lower then you have to keep VS2008 around.

This is an issue that bit me and is really annoying.

Here is a Blog that describes the work around you have to make in order to use .NEt 3.5 etc and C+/CLI in VS2010

You can have both installed, and use them seperatly.

And only upgrade the projects you want.
