Removing a program from Windows:
1. Use Add or Remove Programs. Pray the uninstaller actually removes everything.
2. Find out that the uninstaller didn't actually remove everything
3. Pick through the Windows Registry
4. Hope that you've made a system restore point, roll everything back and start over
Removing a program from Linux:
1. Delete the program's folder.
Sometimes I make things too hard on myself. I tried updating Java RTE manually but it made a mess of Firefox. Tried uninstalling Firefox, reinstalling Firefox, reinstalling all my extensions, and installing Firefox manually into a different folder. Nothing worked. Finally resorted to Google. Duh, delete the Java folder. All is right again.
I've got a long ways to go on the Linux thing.
