I'm aware of all that, but I have a couple dozen computers that I have to
take care of. I'm not going to manage uninstall packages for every one of
them if I don't have to.

If it were just an "If you see it, delete it" type of situation I would have
gone for it, but to have to check each uninstall package to see whether or
not it is old enough to be deleted, and to have to go into the Add/Remove
Programs to pull the now unassociated links out. Nah, too much to worry
about when I don't have to, especially when I have to worry about so much
other stuff around here.

Right now I'm in the middle of setting up WSUS for deployment because I
already have to go to each individual computer to install updates. And it's
even giving me problems.

Thanks for the input though.
