Vista

Has anyone had occasion to uninstall a program from the control panel in Vista? I've tried to do that a couple of times with different programs, and it's disconcerting. Once I select the program I want to remove and click "uninstall" at the top of the page, it gives me an alarm box which offers me a choice between "continue" or "cancel." That's fine, but the program name (Thunderbird, in this case) isn't in the box; instead, it reads "Microsoft Windows."

Now, I'm pretty sure it won't delete the entire operating system, but still, that's not something a user wants to see. Isn't it supposed to show the actual program name that's to be uninstalled?
