TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If it's any help, MSTP recommends using Remove, Uninstall, or Deinstall,
depending on the user interface. I assume they must have inherited legacy
interfaces through numerous acquisitions. Remove is preferred, I've never
heard of Deinstall, and I'm more comfortable with Uninstall as Keith says.
I'm willing to bet that MS recommends "Remove" because they know the rarity
of truly clean Uninstalls. I've noticed that even after I switched to Mac,
OS X still keeps settings and header information for applications I've long
removed.
Almost makes me want to set up virtual instances for everything.
