What do I need to do in order to upgrade? Should I uninstall the visual studio 2008 first? Also what do I need to do to get .NET framework 4? Any tutorials or guides about this?

I have both VS 2008 and VS 2010 installed and have not observed any conflicts.
I'm migrating projects one at a time so selected this route.
Just download .NET 4 from Microsoft and install. If you will be developing with server oriented features get the full version and not the client profile.

I don't want it side by side as it's a waste of my hard disk space

@Alexander: If you don't need VS2008 anymore, you can uninstall either before or after installing VS2010.

VS 2010 can be installed side-by-side with VS 2008. .NET 4.0 comes with VS 2010.
You don't have to do anything special for this. All your existing projects will continue to build with VS 2008 until you explicitly open them in VS 2010 and upgrade them.
All your ASP.NET projects will continue to run in the ASP.NET 2.0 or 3.5 as previously configured. ASP.NET 4.0 will add separate app pools to IIS; only apps you've explicitly rebuilt for 4.0 and moved to the new pools will run on 4.0
You can choose to migrate only one project to VS 2010 to begin playing with the new toys, or start a brand new one.
