Of Uninstallers and Providing Them
A tip for all those who develop applications for Personal Computers:
Please provide uninstallers.
It’s a lot easier uninstalling the application from the Start Menu -> Programs folder rather than having to go to the Control Panel and performing the same operation.

They definitely should! I have had my share of problems trying to uninstall applications which don’t come with uninstallers.

Our primary objective of writing software apps is to invade your computer and rule the world forever . Who in right mind would give you an uninstaller? Keep dreaming!
