Visual Studio 2010 editions - switching from Premium (not a trial) to Ultimate trial and back again

Question
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Premium RTM (not a trial) and would like to run the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Trial for a while.
What is the fastest way to switch to Ultimate trial and back again to the Premium?
My best idea:
- not uninstalling the Premium edition.
- running the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Trial - Web Install
- testing the Ultimate trial
- uninstalling the Ultimate trial
- repairing the Premium installation
Solution
Probably the safest way would be to run the trial in a VM under VMWare or VirtualBox. I wouldn't trust different versions or levels of the same software to run nicely together.
But I'm inherently paranoid :-)
