The KB article actually says that if your dual-boot machine has both operating systems on the same logical drive it won't uninstall. Once again we are subject to typical Microsoft facism. "Install our product and we'll never let you go! Ooh wah ha ha ha ha (my attempt to emulate an evil laugh in text)." Well, I lucked out in that my OS's are one different drives. It uninstalled fine.
