Windows Uninstall is just a list of all the programs installed, and when you tell them to uninstall it just calls their own uninstallers... it's not actually some alternate route of uninstalling programs... I don't use it. The list is full of stuff I uninstalled long ago (because often programs do not remove themselves from the list), it does not cover games that don't use uninstallers (or installers) and you just unzip into folders or simply stream from the internet (mostly demos, but more games than you may think do this... some MMOs for instance.), and it includes EVERYTHING while all I want is to look at the programs or files in one part of my computer -- the Demos folder, the games installed to the root directory of a harddrive, the game trailers folder, etc.
