Programs Cannot Be Uninstalled In Vista?
Corson writes "I am surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned this here yet. Possibly after one of the latest updates in Windows Vista, two strange things happened: first, the Uninstall option is no longer available in the Control Panel when you right-click on older programs (most likely, those installed prior to the update in question, because uninstall works fine for recently installed programs — the Uninstall button is also missing on the toolbar at the top); second, some programs are no longer shown on the applications list in Control Panel (e.g., Yahoo Messenger). A Google search returns quite a few hits on this issue (e.g., one, two, three, and four) but everybody seems to be waiting patiently for a sign from Microsoft. But the company seems to have no clue or they would have fixed it already. I am just curious how many of you are experiencing this nuisance."
Stop being a freaking troll.
1.) You can get full installs of Vista for less than full versions of MacOS X.
2.) You can run Vista (without Aero) just fine on older hardware.
3.) There are quite a few FREE AV's out there that work fine.
4.) Build the computer, run Windows update. No different than any other OS with patches for the OS and applications.
Maybe if you stopped trolling you would see for most people, it is worth it...
of course just for saying the truth about Vista, I'll be modded down because some Slashdot people just can't handle little things like the truth...

Uhh, what idiot moderated this insightful? Troll or flamebait maybe, but not insightful...
All your base are belong to Wii.
hardware won't remove your add/remove programs option. kdawson is just an MS bashing tard. If your going to have a go at MS, atleast make it something that's actually a problem.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
