Win2K is not any better at not leaving this specific kind of "crap", it is
the specific application that decides what is left behind via its own
uninstall routine or via uninstall information that it added to the registry
during it's own installation. And although Norton utilities does a good job
of getting rid of some entries, it only gets rid of reg entries that refer
to files or other reg entries that no longer exist.
Having the win2k compatible logo may make something better but this is
because the guidelines require you to follow certain standards regarding
your installation/uninstallation routines.
