Amusingly, the obnoxiously long paths he calls out in passing (Documents and Settings etc.) were changed in Vista (to something shorter and more vaguely reminiscent of the Unix structure) ... which caused a lot of grumbling, since people didn't know where to find things. One man's long-overdue fix is another's gratuitous arbitrary change.

I suppose it was a nod to the fact that you can't actually add or remove some programs through this dialogue, but generally the change can't really be more intuitive for anyone as the place to go to uninstall things.
