Rob, That's an interesting comment but it makes me think of the Visual Studio experience. It's a seamless experience installing a bunch of packages but the result is the same. You pretty much have to reformat to get back to the original state. Either that or run through lengthy complicated procedures to get it all off.
Now with Visual Studio that normally isn't such a bad thing since generally everything it installs are things that I actually want where as with products like iTunes ( and others ) many of the things are not always things that I actually want. So back to burn... how does it manage the uninstall experience? If Visual Studio was done with Burn, would it have a "take it all off" experience? Chris Christopher Painter, Author of Deployment Engineering Blog Have a hot tip, know a secret or read a really good thread that deserves attention?
