A caution about MS Office 2007 Trial

I am unable to uninstall it in the standard way. The uninstall procedure
progresses, then errors and then rolls back the uninstall.
The error message can be seen at

I tried several times. I examined the rgistry. Nothing worked. I was way
too p____ off to contact MS.

Finally I just deleted the Office 12 Folder. I had to do a cold reboot
before that succeeded. Yes I know the sky will fall as a result but I DON'T
CARE!

I'll run some Registry Cleaners, etc. If I have to I'll go to Apple or
Linux or a Cabin in the Wilderness.

I'm quite impressed with Microsoft Virtual PC. Next time I have the
temptation of installing a beta product, that's what I'll do it on.
