Reasons you’re not uninstalling your old software:
- You might use it, someday, somehow in some other alternate reality.
Reasons you should uninstall your old software:
You’re not using it!- It’s taking up hard drive space.
- It’s cluttering your start menu.
- When you come to use it a year down the line it may want to update itself entirely anyway.
- You will look for better / more advanced software when you do come to use it – eventually.
- It may be insecure – use Secunia PSI to find out.
- It doesn’t work as well as shiny new applications.
- It has drivers or a service.. or a process that starts on startup that is slowing your computer down.
- You have other apps that do the same thing anyway.
- It’s rubbish.

I install new stuff almost daily. So, I often end up with 250+ apps on my computer. Its a good thing that TuneUp utilities bugging me about unused apps.
Btw, I don’t know if its just me, but your CSS doesn’t load in Opera

Thanks for the info though.
