    Do you have to uninstall the .NET Framework 4.0 Beta 2 manually as well?  I heard that it doesn't uninstall automatically whenever you uninstall TFS or VS 2010 Beta 2.

    No you do not need to uninstall .NET 4 Beta2. You are correct that uninstalling TFS/VSTS does not uninstall .NET 4. Installing TFS RTM will install .NET 4 RTM which takes care of uninstalling .NET 4 Beta2.
