all the higher versions upgrades to lower Management Studio Console as well
so you need to uninstall management studio 2008 not the database server
you can run multiple instances of sql servers i.e. 2000 sql,2005 sql server, 2008 sql server, 2010 sql server database engines and only need one
latest management studio console for managing each of them.
