I installed the first version of Steam directly to my C drive instead of putting it in a folder named Steam.

So I uninstalled it with the plan to reinstall.

After a curiously long time I realized the uninstaller was working its way through deleting my entire C drive. All my bookmarks, m t mp3s, my winamp skins... everything not on a zip drive... I tried to stop the uninstaller but it was clear I would have to do a full format and dig out the FCKGW XP key.

Ah Steam. Fuck you. You came around for the most part, but fuck you for that.

Honestly, Steam's UI still needs some work. A better way to control what games get auto updates comes to mind. Also, Library and Downloads not being different tabs is odd because I click Library expecting to see my Library but I see downloads.
